💕HAIR LOSS & PROTECTIVE STYLING: Let’s Talk Facts 👇🏽
Before you blame that protective style for your thinning edges or shedding strands… pause. The real culprit might be deeper than the braids or the wig cap.
Predispositions matter. Genetics, hormonal imbalances, scalp conditions, and even stress can set the stage for hair loss long before your stylist touches a strand.
Protective styles are meant to shield your hair—not sabotage it. But if you’re already predisposed to hair loss and haven’t addressed it, even the gentlest style can accelerate damage.
So before you book that next install or twist-up:
🫧Get your scalp evaluated.
🫧Know your hair history.
🫧Talk to a trichologist or dermatologist if needed.
Protective styling isn’t the enemy. But ignoring your predisposition? That’s the real threat.
💕Protect your crown with knowledge first—then with style.
