Can I use this balm with protective styles?
Yes! The balm is great for sealing moisture before installing braids, twists, or locs. Apply small amounts to your hair and scalp edges before styling to help maintain hydration throughout the protective style.
How often should I apply the hair balm?
For best results, apply 2–3 times per week or as needed when your hair feels dry. Adjust frequency based on your hair’s porosity and moisture needs — some find daily use on ends works well, while others prefer a weekly sealing routine.
Will this cause buildup or weigh my hair down?
When used in the recommended amount, the balm is designed to absorb without heavy residue. Start with small sized amounts and add more only if needed. Clarify with a gentle shampoo every 1–2 weeks to keep your scalp and strands fresh.
Should I do a patch test first?
Yes, we recommend a patch test before first use, especially if you have sensitive skin or known allergies. Apply a small amount to the inside of your wrist or behind your ear, wait 24 hours, and check for any reaction before applying more broadly.
