			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Protective Styles Challenge has officially started! I am so excited about this years challenge for there are going to be some new and rewarding changes to this years challenge, but to start off, if you are new to my site and don&#8217;t know what the Protective Style Challenge is, here&#8217;s a recap:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8230;a protective style is a style that will protect the hair from breakage because it is low maintenance. Leaving the hair alone with low manipulation is the best medicine for longer, healthier hair!</p>
<p>Here are some example of a few protective styles:</p>
<ul>
<li>hair buns</li>
<li>plaits</li>
<li>cornrows</li>
<li>two-strand twists</li>
<li>flat twists</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>So what are the new changes to this years challenge?</p>
<ul>
<li>Weekly videos giving tips and answering your questions and concerns</li>
<li>Weekly protective style tutorial videos</li>
<li>Monthly giveaways of my favorite moisture packed styling products</li>
</ul>
<div>To be the first to know about these weekly videos and contest be sure to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/growblackhairnet">subscribe to my channel</a> on Youtube and Like <a href="http://facebook.com/growblackhair">Growblackhair.net</a> on Facebook. Good luck in this challenge and may you enter spring with longer, thicker, healthier hair!</div>
