Want to keep your natural hair healthy, stylish, and protected? 🌺 Here are 9 top-notch tips, including a bonus tip on scalp care, to rock your protective styles like a pro:

1. ✨ Prep is Key: Begin with a clean, moisturized canvas. Deep condition your hair before styling to ensure it's well-nourished and ready for the journey ahead.

2. 🌀 Choose Wisely: Opt for styles that tuck your ends away, like braids, twists, buns, or wigs. Shielding your delicate ends from environmental stressors promotes growth and minimizes damage.

3. 💧 Moisture is a Must: Keep your hair hydrated! Spritz with a water and leave-in conditioner mix to maintain moisture levels while your style slays.

4. 🌸 Gentle Handling: When styling, be gentle! Tight pulling can lead to breakage. Your hair deserves some TLC, so handle it with care.

5. 🧼 Clean Scalp, Happy Hair: Don't forget your scalp! Cleanse regularly with a diluted sulfate-free shampoo or co-wash to prevent buildup and itching. 

6. 💆🏾‍♀️ Scalp-Care Delight: Treat your scalp to some pampering! Massage a lightweight, non-greasy oil like our Soothing Scalp Oil. Eucalyptus + Rosemary act to soothe itch and prevent fungal buildup. Use your fingertips to stimulate circulation and maintain a healthy foundation.

7. 💤 Sleep in Silk: Wrap your hair in a silk or satin scarf before bed to minimize friction and maintain your style’s integrity. A silk pillowcase is a luxurious alternative.

8. 🌬️ Give It Air: Every few weeks, give your hair a breather. Let it down, moisturize, and let it thrive in its natural glory. 

9. 🌟 Style Removal Matters: When it’s time to take down your protective style, do it patiently. Detangle gently, deep condition, and give your hair a mini spa day to restore its vitality.
