Hair Question!
Hi!
I’m a white woman who loves to do hair and I want to learn how to take care of my black friend’s hair (I cut and style a lot of my friend’s hair for free because it’s fun). I’m really curious about protective hair styles. What makes a hairstyle protective vs not and what are some examples? Also do any of y’all have suggestions of good sources for learning? I don’t want to be misinformed by finding random help online and then end up messing up my friend’s hair.
Thank you!! :)
Edit for clarification:

I want to learn how to take care of black hair properly before ever offering it to my friends which is why I came here! I don’t want them to ever feel like I’m willing to sacrifice the health and wellbeing of their hair for the sake of my learning so I want to learn what I can before I ever even offer
