Our Take

A targeted scalp treatment from the Braid + Twist range addressing one of the most common discomforts of protective styling — the itching and scalp tightness that sets in shortly after fresh braids or locs. Witch Hazel calms irritation, while high-quality oils soothe the skin without causing buildup that could damage the style. Biotin and Honey continue the Braid + Twist line's strengthening and moisture-retention focus. CGM-approved. Apply using the applicator tip directly to the scalp, focusing on the tightest parts or most irritated areas. A few drops go a long way — this is a scalp product, not a hair product.
