This year we’re launching #HuesofEvaNYC: an ongoing content series that celebrates the unique identity of all strands, right down to the roots. Join us and celebrate the hues of our hair-care obsessed community as we share protective hairstyle inspirations by our friend, Janae Harris.
Our community gave our friend, Janae Harris, their FAQ’S question regarding hair tips, protective style maintenance, hair hacks, and more. Here are 3 looks she created inspired by our community's curiosity in learning fun new ways to style their mane!
The look: Protective Wrap Hairstyle + Cleanse

- H2-Whoa! Hydrating Shampoo
- Mane Magic 10-In-1 Shine Mask
- Satin Dream Smoothing Leave-In Cream
- Gotta Bounce Curl Defining Cream
Step 1: Cleanse hair with H2-Woah! Shampoo + Conditioner to lock in moisture. Allow Mane Magic 10-in-1 Shine Mask to sit for 3-5 minutes to seal in shine.
Step 2: Apply Satin Dream Leave-In-Cream and Gotta Bounce! Curl Defining Cream prior to styling to moisturize and define curl texture.
Step 3: Wrap hair in ponytail of choice! (High pony, a bun, the choice is yours!)
Step 4: Pull strands + fly aways out and style with braids, beads, and finger twists!
Bonus styling tip: End by applying gel to give your curls some definition

Step 3: Lock in scalp moisture with H2-Whoah! 3-in-1 Hydrating Scalp Serum!
Step 4: In the back of the head, create bubble effect using rubber bands for added style.
Bonus styling tip: Insert extensions for additional length + volume and add hair jewelry like beads or clips.

- Conditioner, and Leave-In-Cream
- Gotta Bounce Curl Defining Cream
Step 1: Apply H2-Whoah! Leave-In-Conditioner and Gotta Bounce! Curl Defining Cream to strands, using comb to distribute evenly.

PRO TIP: Add more curl defining cream for each twist section as you go!
Step 3: Reveal your gorgeous mane by separating the twists apart!
Step 4: Use Shapeshifter Flexible Hairspray all over afro for a non-sticky, flexible hold.
Bonus styling tip: Sleep in twists for more defined curls. Shake out hair for bonus confidence!
