Stretched Afro

There are many ways to stretch out your kinks, coils or curls. But we’re big fans of stretching natural hair without heat. Bantu knots, twists or braids are great ways to stretch your hair. Just don’t forget to use a microfibre towel turban to help dry your hair.

We love this hairstyle at Afrocenchix HQ as you can rock your two-strand twists during the week as a protective hairstyle, then rock your twist out on the weekend, which means that your hair is out and ready for wash day and TLC on Sunday! 

Box Braids

Beautiful box braids are an excellent way to protect your natural hair, especially your fragile ends. But don’t get it twisted: protective styles still require some daily and weekly care, so don’t forget to cleanse your scalp.
