BETTER BRAIDS Braid Spray - Anti-Itch & Moisturizing for Braids, Locs & Twists 355ml/12 oz
Week two of a fresh set of braids is usually when the scalp starts complaining. BETTER BRAIDS is built for that stretch: a menthol and tea tree spray you mist at the roots when the tightness and the itch get distracting.
Menthol does the cooling, tea tree carries the scent and the fresh feel, and the rest of the formula is there to put moisture back into hair that a protective style has kept away from water. It comes in a 355ml bottle with a fine nozzle, which matters when you are trying to reach the scalp through a dense install rather than coating the braids themselves.
Locs and twists take it as well as braids do. Mist the roots, work it in with your fingertips, and go over the lengths if the hair is looking dry or dull. Nothing about it is heavy enough to build up if you use it daily.

Application tips
Part the braids where you can and take the nozzle right down to the scalp, otherwise most of it lands on the outside of the style. Short bursts, moving along each row.
Mornings and evenings both work, though a light mist before bed under a scarf tends to be the more useful one. If the lengths look dry, a few passes down the braid will do, with no need to soak it.
Results
The cooling comes through in seconds, which is the menthol, and it takes the edge off a scalp that has been covered for a fortnight. The tight, dry feeling eases and the braids look glossier rather than dusty.
Tea tree leaves a sharp, clean scent that hangs about for a few hours. Nothing greasy is left behind, so daily use does not build a film along the parting.
