Cantu Protective Styles Hair Freshener 4 oz / 118 ml - For Braids, Wigs & Locs Refreshing
Nobody warns you about the smell. Braids, twists, wigs and locs trap everything: cooking, gym sessions, the smoke from somebody else's night out. Washing is not always an option when the style has another fortnight to run, and dry shampoo is not built for hair you cannot get your fingers into.
This freshener neutralises rather than covers. Apple cider vinegar does the clarifying work, tea tree and lavender oils handle the scent, and the spray is fine enough to reach through a dense style without leaving anything damp or sticky behind.
Mist over the style, including underneath and along the partings, then let it dry. 4 oz / 118 ml, small enough to keep in a bag for the days it is needed. Made for anyone in braids, twists, wigs or locs, whatever your own hair is doing underneath.

Application tips
Lift the style in sections and spray underneath first, then along the partings and last over the top. Underneath is where the smell actually sits, and it is the part people miss.
Let it dry before you tie a scarf on. Keep it in a bag for gym days and after a night out, when a wash is not an option.
Results
Odour goes rather than being layered over with perfume, which is the difference between this and a body spray on your head. The scent that remains is clean and herbal rather than sweet.
Nothing lands wet or sticky, so braids do not clump or need redoing, and the style feels wearable again for another week or two.
