Choosing a Natural-Hair Stylist

Protective styles require specific technique. When you're looking to book, the stylist's experience with your hair type and your specific style is what matters. Call ahead and ask: How long have they been doing this style? How long will it take? What's the maintenance plan? How long can it safely stay in? These questions matter more than five-star reviews. A stylist who takes time to answer thoroughly is someone worth trusting with your hair.
