Protective Styling

DON'T neglect your scalp

Installing a protective style doesn't give you a pass on caring for your scalp. Clogged, dirty follicles prevent hair growth, and that would defeat the purpose of protective styling. Use a shampoo with mint to invigorate the scalp while you're clarifying it.
We recommend:

• Herbal Essences Naked Cleansing Conditioner
• Aubrey Organics GPB Balancing Protein Shampoo
• Carol's Daughter Rosemary Mint Clarifying Sulfate-Free Shampoo

DON'T forget to deep condition

Prior to installing your braids or twists, give your natural hair a thorough DC to strengthen the hair shaft and give it tons of moisture. While the style is in your hair, do a weekly protein-rich treatment.
We recommend:

• Curl Junkie Reconstructive Hair Treatment
• AG Hair Cosmetics Conditioner Reconstructing Treatment
• Joico K-Pak Deep Penetrating Reconstructor
