Healthy hair doesn’t have to be complicated it just requires intentional care. ✨ Here’s how to follow the CALM Method: C — Care for your scalp A healthy protective style begins with a healthy scalp. Keep your scalp clean, hydrated, and comfortable throughout the style. A — Avoid excess tension A protective style should feel comfortable. Gentle installation helps protect your scalp, edges, and natural hair from unnecessary stress. L — Low manipulation Protective styles reduce the need for daily combing and styling, helping minimize breakage and support length retention. M — Maintain moisture Keep your natural hair hydrated while wearing your protective style by using a lightweight moisturizing mist regularly. Protective styling isn’t just about getting your hair done it’s about being intentional with how you care for your hair before, during, and after the style. Stay CALM and let your hair thrive. 💚 #dmvbraids - @meenabraids
