Taliah Waajid Protective Styles Moisturizing Mint Shampoo for Refreshed Scalp & Hydrated Hair 8 oz
If you are six weeks into a set of braids, your problem is rarely the hair. It is the scalp underneath it, and the fact that most shampoos are designed to be lathered through lengths you currently cannot reach.
This mint shampoo is aimed at that gap. It cleans the scalp and whatever hair is exposed without stripping moisture out, so braids, locs, twists and weaves come away feeling fresher rather than dried out and fuzzy. The mint reads as a cooling hit on the skin, which is the part most people wearing a long-term style notice first, particularly once things have started to itch under there.
The other half of the job is keeping the style itself in decent condition. Protective styles fail on dryness as often as they fail on grip, and a wash that puts moisture back into braids and twists buys you extra weeks before the ends start looking tired.
An 8 oz bottle, and one that pairs sensibly with a nozzle applicator if you want to get the product down to the parting rather than over the top of the style. Taliah Waajid built the Protective Styles range around this stretch of the cycle, and it shows in how the product behaves.

Application tips
Wet the hair and the style through, then apply along the partings and squeeze the lather down the braids or locs rather than scrubbing them. Fingertips only, no nails.
Rinse thoroughly, press the water out with a towel instead of rubbing, and let the style dry completely before you tie it up or sleep on it.
Results
A proper clean at the scalp, with a mint coolness that lingers a minute or two after rinsing.
Hair does not come out stripped, so braids and twists stay soft rather than fuzzing up. The scalp feels comfortable for days afterwards and the style keeps its neatness, because nothing has been roughed up in the process.
