The entire kit that’ll keep your braids itch-free, comfortable, and fresh.
Without fail, braids always feel a bit tight after they are just styled. No matter how much oil or product you apply, it can still be hard to find relief. This new collection from SheaMoisture promises a solution to every one of the dilemmas for new braids. We were hesitant to try the collection after their recent ad which suggested a reason stray away from the brand, but the products in this collection target and perform well on the hair of women of color. The Shea Moisture Protective Styling Collection includes these key main ingredients: jojoba oil, Ucuuba Butter, and Carrot Seed Oil.
SheaMoisture Braid-Up Conditioning Gel
The moisturizing gel uses carrot seed oil as its primary ingredient to not only hold hair as its installed but also to moisturize the scalp to prevent itchiness once the braid is complete.
