Black Women On Twitter Show Us Why Protective Styles Are Better


2020 has been one helluva year; and although it feels like we're being hit from every angle, we've made sure to stay protected. From rocking Black-owned face masks and implementing a regularly scheduled vitamin routine to keeping our scriptures and affirmations on deck to cover our mental health, it's important that we protect our necks, spirits, immune systems, and tresses so that evils like coronavirus and heat damage don't get the best of us during this quarantine, and Black women on Twitter just showed us how to do exactly that.

In a thread started by xoNecole asking Black women to drop photos of their current protective styles, we got our entire lives and then some inspiring us to twist up our tresses and put down our flat irons and it was absolutely everything.

Scroll below for images from our tribe that will give you all the protective hair joy you didn't know you needed.

How We Met is a series where xoNecole talks love and relationships with real-life couples. We learn how they met, how like turned into love, and how they make their love work.

And when it comes to love, my friend Amanda Wicks and her husband, Will Ford, are the perfect example.

Amanda may not remember this, but years ago, on one of her many visits back to Atlanta (we both went to Clark Atlanta University), she sat across from me at a dinner table and declared she was done looking for love. She was happy with who she was, and while she still desired it, it was no longer something she was chasing. “If it happens, it happens,” she said. The statement was so bold it made me quickly reroute our usual dating story catch-ups and awkwardly move to a different topic.

If my last relationship taught me anything, it’s that I was way too giving, way too understanding, way too empathetic in moments where I really should’ve put myself first. It took me two years to get over this relationship, not even because I wanted to get back with him but because I was so afraid of losing myself in someone again. I kept revisiting this relationship in my mind for all the mistakes I made, rehashing it over and over in therapy sessions caught up somewhere between “Did I do enough?” and “Why did I do so damn much?”
