Common questions

How often should I spray my braids? This depends on your hair and climate. If your braids feel dry, a light spray when needed helps keep them moisturised.

Can I use regular hair gel for braiding? Gels made for braiding and twisting are formulated for this purpose, so they work better than general products.

Will these products help my hair grow? No product can speed up how fast your hair grows. What these products do is keep your hair moisturised and protected while it's styled, which supports healthy hair care.

Protective Style Care FAQs

How do I care for my scalp under braids?
Use a braid spray or light scalp oil with a nozzle a few times a week, and cleanse the scalp with diluted shampoo.
How long should I keep a protective style in?
Follow your stylist's advice, and take the style down before new growth starts to mat or the scalp feels tight or sore.
How do I wash my hair in braids or locs?
Apply diluted shampoo to the scalp, massage gently, rinse well and let the hair dry fully to avoid a damp smell.
