@jahnayasimone: This is her natural hair, braided down with no extensions. And yes, this is still a protective style. One that’ll last her 2-4 weeks as she grows out her heat damage. Beautiful and functional. Natural hair cornrows are protective, low tension, and deeply underrated. If you are prioritizing scalp health, low tension, and long term growth, this is an option worth considering. #protectivestyles #cornrows. #lengthretention #naturalhairstyles #BlackTikTok
