Protective Style: Retro Hair in 5 Minutes or Less

Ever since becoming a natural, braidouts have become my go-to-hairstyle. Now that my mane has grown out a bit, I find myself experimenting with different hairdos. The main challenge that I’ve come across is trying to achieve cute styles in a short period of time. So, I’ve come up with an elegant retro style that can be easily achieved in five minutes or less.

My hair had already been stretched out a bit from the roller set I did earlier in the week. I didn’t have time to go through shampooing and conditioning all over again. With a little eco-styler gel, almond oil mixed with a little bit of jojoba oil, and pins, I created this elegant retro look.

I was surprised by the compliments I received after creating this look. My hubby and I are actually planning to attend a wedding next month, and I’m thinking of rocking this style. I may just jazz it up a bit and add a different hair accessory. I thought about hitting up the professionals. But, I really don’t have time to sit in a salon all day.

I put together a quick tutorial for your viewing pleasure. This is a great protective style option for those of you looking to preserve your ends. It’s also great for all hair types. Please be sure to rate and subscribe. Thanks for watching!

    Great style! I’m doing 2-strand twists for a couple weeks followed by braidouts as my go-to, but this is a great “event hairstyle” or even as it gets even hotter this summer.
