What to Look for in a Natural-Hair Stylist
A stylist who handles protective styles should understand curl patterns, tension, and hold time. Ask about their experience with your specific hair type and the exact style you want—braids and twists have different requirements than locs or temporary wraps.
Before booking, check their portfolio (many post on Instagram) and read reviews from people with similar hair. Pay attention to comments about comfort during the appointment and how long the style held up.
