When your hair disappears into a beautiful set of braids, it's easy to concentrate on keeping the style looking good and forget about what's underneath.
But protective style haircare doesn't stop when the braiding appointment ends.
Your natural hair and scalp still need regular care while you're wearing braids, twists and other protective styles.
Why scalp care matters when wearing braids
Braids can make everyday hair maintenance much easier because much of your natural hair is tucked away. That doesn't mean your scalp should be forgotten.
A simple routine can help keep your scalp and hair conditioned throughout the time you wear your style.
The important word is simple.
You don't need to layer endless products onto your scalp. In fact, using too much product can contribute to build-up between your braids.
How to oil your scalp with braids
Apply a small amount of lightweight scalp oil directly along the exposed sections between your braids. A little goes a long way.
Gently distribute the oil rather than saturating the scalp, and adjust how often you use it according to how your own scalp and hair feel.
This is the thinking behind GROW, the scalp and hair oil we're developing at Angels.
A straightforward way to give your scalp and roots some attention while your hair is braided.
Because protective styling shouldn't mean forgetting your hair until takedown day.
GROW. Care for what's underneath.
