Addis Ababa's dry season and dusty afternoons are hard on hair — which is exactly why protective styles are so popular here, not just as a trend but as practical hair care. Done well, a protective style can last three to six weeks with the right upkeep.
Choosing the right style for your hair
Not every style suits every hair type or scalp tension tolerance. We always start with a consultation to check hair density, scalp sensitivity and your styling routine before recommending braids, twists or a wig install.
Nightly care that makes it last
A silk or satin bonnet every night is non-negotiable — it's the single biggest factor in how long a style holds up. We also recommend a light oil on the scalp every few days to keep things from drying out.
Book a consultation with us and we'll walk you through the style that fits your hair, your schedule, and how long you want it to last.
