Low Manipulation, Give your hair some rest


Low manipulation hair styles, are hair styles that gives your hair a chance to rest. This resting period involves not combing, pulling, brushing, or messing with your hair in anyway. Low manipulation hair styles are: twist outs, box braids, two-strand twist, rod sets, bantu knots, etc. Also, having your hair in a low manipulation hair styles means that you are not applying heat to your hair. Again, this is like a resting period, where you just style it and leave it.

Low manipulation hair styles are the best, especially if you’re transitioning. Since there are two different textures that you are trying to work having a style that blends your straight ends with your natural hair, without heat, is the best solution.
