Author:Jamé JacksonUpdated:May 24, 2019Original:May 23, 2019Growing up, I distinctly remember sitting in between my mom's legs on Saturday mornings in the summertime: I'd be flinching and squirming to avoid her grip, and she'd desperately attempt to put a few braids, cornrows or whatever style she could muster, into my hair since she knew I'd be going to the pool with my friends.
What, exactly, qualifies a certain look as a protective hairstyle?

Carter and Jennifer Hudson. "Protective styles are typically good for people who don't want to put heat, color or any tension on natural hair.
While many protective styles can be complicated and benefit from the help of a professional stylist, some can be achieved at home. Goddess locs are one common go-to.
