What to Look For in a Natural-Hair Stylist
A protective-styles stylist should know tension, application, and scalp health. Ask questions at consultation: How long do you estimate each service? Do you use quality hair (if adding extensions)? What's your take-down process and timeline? Good stylists listen and work at your pace, not the clock. If available, check their Instagram or portfolio—you can see their work and sense their approach before booking.
