Protective Styles - A broad term that is used to encompass a variety of styles from braids and twists to weaves and wigs. These styles can enhance the natural look of our hair or give us a completely different look, allowing us to experiment with something new. With each style also comes there own stigmas about how and where to wear them. Join us for today's chat on how you can navigate wearing and embracing different protective styles throughout your natural journey with our guest Amber Underwood.
Amber has been natural since 2013 and navigated her journey through the use of protective styles starting out primarily with wigs and sew-ins and now using braids as her primary form of maintenance for her 4c hair. Amber believes in encouraging people to show up as their whole selves through her work as a therapist, entrepreneur, and author of her book, Hupomone. She shares how she stays true to herself through her hair as she shows up in all of these different roles in her life.
