Often times it is asked and many wonder if this “new” weaving method, the braidless sew-in or Microlink, a “protective style.” But let’s define “protective” style in the hair community. Often times protective styles are styles that help protect the natural hair strands, but may not expose or protect the actual scalp.
Shantastic’s ideal protective style is one that protects and help keeps the integrity of the hair strands and the scalp. Therefore making this type of styling the ultimate protective style.
Truth be told “protective” style is misconstrued as “lazy” style. Because many people truly just want to be lazy with their hair which leads to neglect of the hair and definitely the scalp!!! Without a healthy scalp you can’t breed healthy hair, just like a tree can’t grow through smothered of bad soil.
