African Pride Peppermint, Rosemary & Sage Strengthening Balm 4oz
Edges and the nape take the most tension from protective styles, and they are the first places to show it. This balm is aimed squarely at those two areas, worked into the hair and the scalp underneath rather than laid over the top.
Peppermint, rosemary and sage oils give it the cooling, stimulating feel the range is known for. It is a leave-in, so it keeps working between styles instead of washing straight back out.
What it does
- Targets edges and the nape, the areas most exposed to styling tension
- Stimulates the scalp with peppermint, rosemary and sage
- Helps guard against breakage as you change styles
- Stays in the hair as a leave-in rather than rinsing out
How to use it
Apply directly to your edges and nape area, then massage it into both the hair and the scalp underneath. Leave it in and style as usual. Use it twice a day for the best results.
Suits textured and curly hair, and anyone rotating through braids, twists and other protective styles. 4 oz jar.

Application tips
Straight onto the hairline and the nape, then massage it into the scalp underneath rather than leaving it sitting on top of the hair. Fingertips in small circles, both areas, twice a day. It stays in, so there is no rinsing step and no need to wash it out before you restyle. Use it on the days between protective styles as well as under them.
Results
The edges and the nape take the most pull from a braided or tied style, and they show it first. A balm that stays put keeps those areas conditioned while they are under tension, so hair there is more flexible and less of it gives way. Peppermint, rosemary and sage leave a cool tingle on the scalp. Hair is left soft rather than waxy.
