Doing your hair every single morning can quickly become a chore. You want your hair protected (especially during winter) but are completely out of ideas.

Yet, protective styling can be as simple as rolling, tucking, and pinning your hair up and back. The aim is to keep the ends of the hair tucked away and less susceptible to friction and tangling. Even though many say that extensions and weaves are protective, these styles can often be too tight or too heavy on your scalp, which can cause damage to the hair underneath.

Here is some hair inspiration for every your hair at every length:

 •    For TWAs – Teenie Weenie Afros

When your hair is short, your style options are limited. But the few that can be done are great.

Accessories - or just let it be

If your TWA is too short to plait, adorn your hair with beautiful accessories. Or let it be - this is the perfect phase for you to get to know your hair texture. So enjoy it and be sure to maintain the moisture.
