Protective Styles: Roll and Tuck

I have been natural for 5 years now and have just learned the importance of protective styling. I have grown out my afro twice in 5 years because I always seem to do something to mess it up. I recently read a post by curly nikki that said "more hair, more problems" and that certainly has been true for me. But I think protective styling may be the missing link.

I usually have to suffer through protective styles but this one was very well recieved. And most importantly, I felt confident and beautiful wearing this style. It lasted for a week and weathered 4 sweaty workouts and nighttime.  I wrapped a satin strip around the edges at night. Below is the link to the tutorial that I sent to my stylist to watch.
