Africa's Best Super Gro Maximum Strength 5.25 oz
Maximum Strength is the thicker, more concentrated version of the Super Gro conditioner, made for hair that has not responded to the standard formula. Same 5.25 oz pot, denser texture, more of it staying where you put it.
The blend of traditional African oils is the point of the thing. Along the length it reinforces the strand so there is less breakage and fewer split ends. On the scalp it settles the tight, dry feeling that comes with cold weather or frequent styling. Hair looks glossier for it and stays softer between wash days.
Part the hair, apply directly to the scalp, then smooth what remains down the length. Twice or three times a week is enough for most people, and more than that tends to build up.
Best on coarse or dry textures, roughly 2a through 4a, and particularly useful under braids and twists.

Application tips
Maximum strength means thicker, so warm a scoop between two fingers until it slackens before it goes near the hair.
Lay it along partings on a dry scalp, no more than a rice grain per row, and massage properly afterwards. Take the residue through the ends. Twice a week suits most heads. If the scalp starts to feel coated, wash it out and go lighter.
Results
A dry scalp stops feeling tight, and stays comfortable for a couple of days rather than a few hours.
On the hair itself it leaves a heavier sheen than a light oil would, holds moisture in on coarse textures, and keeps brittle ends flexible enough to comb. It is rich, so fine hair will feel it as weight. Coarse and coily hair generally will not.
