Mazuri Braid Oil Hair & Scalp: Nourishes, Strengthens & Soothes for Braids, Locs & Protective Styles 237ml/8.01 fl oz
Castor and amla oils, organically farmed, in a 237ml bottle built for scalps that are under tension. Protective styles pull, and the scalp beneath one tends to go dry and tight in the weeks after an install.
The formula is rich but not heavy, so it gets down to the scalp through the parts without leaving the braids looking oily. Castor is the thick one that coats the strand, amla runs lighter and takes the dryness out of the hair itself.
Where it helps most is length retention. Braids and locs that stay conditioned break less when you take them down, and less breakage at takedown is most of what people mean when they say a protective style worked.
Apply along the parts every few days, massage in, then run what is left over the length of the braids. A few drops is enough on a section, and more than that just sits on the fibre. If the braids look shiny an hour later you have used too much.
Best on dense type 3 and type 4 hair worn in braids, locs, twists or cornrows for weeks at a time.

Application tips
The useful window is the evening, when nobody is going to see the parts looking wet. Tilt the bottle against the scalp and draw a line down each part rather than pouring it over the top of the style. Press it in with the pads of your fingers.
On takedown day, saturate the whole install and leave it an hour before you start unpicking, since dry braids are where the worst breakage happens.
Results
The tight, papery feeling that sets in a few days after an install eases off, and the scalp stops announcing itself every time you move your head.
Braids look conditioned rather than coated. The real payoff arrives at takedown, when hair that has stayed supple under the style comes apart with far less shedding in the sink than a dry install produces.
