Care for the scalp beneath the style.
Use oil sparingly, avoid buildup and protect the hairline from unnecessary tension.
Protective does not mean maintenance-free
Braids, twists and similar styles reduce daily manipulation, but the scalp still produces sweat and oil and may collect styling products. Hair can also experience tension around the hairline. Oil should be applied thoughtfully rather than used to cover discomfort or buildup.
Use a controlled amount
Place oil on fingertips and touch accessible part lines instead of pouring.
Protect the hairline
Do not massage aggressively around tight or tender edges.
Watch for buildup
Repeated layers can collect dust and make cleansing more difficult.
Listen to discomfort
Pain, bumps or persistent irritation are not normal signs to ignore.
A little goes a long way between braids.
Work across visible part lines with small amounts. The goal is light conditioning and comfort—not saturating extensions or the base of the style.

- Make sure the scalp is comfortable and the style is not painfully tight.
- Place a very small amount of oil on clean fingertips.
- Touch oil gently along accessible part lines and dry areas.
- Massage with light pressure without pulling at the braid bases.
- Avoid daily heavy layering and cleanse according to your style-care plan.
Between styles, use a complete pre-shampoo treatment when you can access the loose hair.
