			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The protective style challenge is now over once again. With the warmer weather moving in what hair styles are you planning on sporting? Here&#8217;s a few of my own favorite hair styles:</p>
<p><a href="http://growblackhair.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/DSC00210.jpg" rel="lightbox[1045]"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1046" title="DSC00210" src="http://growblackhair.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/DSC00210-267x300.jpg" alt="" width="267" height="300" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://growblackhair.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/DSC00279.jpg" rel="lightbox[1045]"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1047" title="DSC00279" src="http://growblackhair.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/DSC00279-300x256.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="256" /></a></p>
<p>A few other ideas are:</p>
<ul>
<li>braid out</li>
<li>bantu knot out</li>
<li>curl rod set</li>
<li>classic puff</li>
</ul>
<p>Please also remember that just because the warmer weather has arrived that you should give up protective styles completed. The Spring and Summer are still a great time to wear them. Be sure to protect your hair at night when you sleep to prevent knots, tangles, and breakage. Also when swimming two-strand twists, buns, and plaits are your very best friends! Enjoy the warmer weather ladies, and enjoy longer healthier hair! <img src='http://growblackhair.net/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
