One universal experience that we go through as women is deciding what hairstyles to do every other month. And I think we can all agree that it’s never an easy decision.

Sometimes, we don’t even feel like having anything complicated or stressful done, but at the same time, we want something pretty enough to make a statement when we step out. Thankfully, protective hairstyles are hot on the beauty scene right now!

Cornrows have gotten an upgrade in stitch or flat plaits, twisted and woven with colourful beads of different sizes and textures. Just like Fulani braids and the classic Suku are on a nostalgic wave, this hairstyle is the convenient must-try for this season.
