Many people interested in protecting their tresses during hair weather conditions will often wear a wig rather than other types of protective styles.

5. Amp Up Hair Protection With Add-on Accessories - Wearing a protective hairstyle covered by a protective beanie, slouchy or similar, may or may not deflect fingers and hands from pulling your hair.

If your hair is particularly long or fragile, you may want to consider wearing secondary protection in the form of a secured hood or strapped aviator cap.

6. Add A Neck Scarf - If you're worried a hood or aviator may be too constricting or confining, wear your hair down and to one side.

Wrap a neck scarf over the hair to add a different level of protection from fingers and hands.
