What Your Go-To Protective Style Says About You
Have you ever noticed that no matter how many hairstyle trends come and go, you somehow end up choosing the same protective style?
You tell yourself you're going to try something different.
You save twenty-seven hairstyle photos on Instagram.
You create a Pinterest board called "New Me."
And then, somehow, you walk into the salon and say:
"Let's do knotless braids again."
Sound familiar?
