Cantu Protective Styles Hair Bath & Cleanser 10 oz / 296 ml - For Wigs, Braids, & Locs
Washing braids properly is a skill in itself. A normal shampoo foams up, gets trapped in the sections and takes three rinses to clear, which loosens the style long before it needs to come down. A hair bath is a different format: thinner, so it runs through the style and rinses away clean.
It lifts oil, sweat and product residue from the scalp and along the braid without stripping the moisture out of your own hair underneath. Apple cider vinegar balances things afterwards and helps the cuticle lie flat, so hair does not come out of a wash feeling rougher than it went in.
Made for wigs, braids, locs and extensions. Apply along the partings, work down the length, rinse thoroughly, then let the style dry fully before you sleep on it. 10 oz / 296 ml.

Application tips
Dilute it slightly if the style is very dense, then apply along the partings rather than over the top. Squeeze it down the braid with your palms instead of scrubbing, which is what loosens a style.
Rinse for longer than a normal shampoo. Then dry properly, with a towel and cool air, before you sleep on it.
Results
The scalp comes out genuinely clean, which is the part that gets neglected when hair is in a style for weeks. Braids look fresher and darker rather than dusty.
Because there is little foam to trap, the style survives the wash without frizzing at the roots, and hair underneath feels conditioned rather than stripped.
Composition
- Apple Cider Vinegar
- Balances the hair after washing so the cuticle lies flat
