Our Take

A daily leave-in moisturiser from the Braid + Twist line, specifically formulated for hair worn in braids, locs, or twists for extended periods. The Biotin and Honey pairing runs through the entire Braid + Twist collection: Biotin for strengthening individual strands, Honey for moisture retention. Rosemary and Mint add scalp stimulation and a pleasant freshness — useful when braids have been in for a while. CGM-modified. Use daily or every other day: spritz or apply a small amount to your scalp and hair, focusing on the parts and along the braids or locs. Winner of multiple Essence Best in Black Beauty awards.
