How to Care for Your Hair While It’s in a Protective Style

Don’t Just Prep for the Style—Maintain It

The biggest myth about protective styling? That once your hair is tucked away, you’re done. In reality, most breakage happens while your style is in—not before or after.


Here’s how to maintain moisture, support growth, and make your takedown day a win:

How to Use this Bundle in Your Bi-Weekly Routine:

  1. Cleanse (Step 1) Use PURIFY Clarifying Shampoo only if you have flakes or buildup. Otherwise, use RESTORE Moisturizing Shampoo to gently cleanse without stripping.


  2. Hydrate (Step 5) Leave in Conditioner, Dilute Step 5 with Aloe Vera Juice (1:1 ratio) in a spray bottle. Lightly mist roots, parts, and exposed strands 2–3x per week.


  3. Treat (Step 6) Apply HAIR BOOST Serum with the dropper directly to your scalp, especially edges, crown, and nape. Massage gently with fingertips.


  4. Seal + Refresh (Step 7) Use SET Styling Foam to smooth flyaways, refresh frizz, or lay edges. Air dry or wrap with a scarf for overnight hold.


🔁 Repeat this system every two weeks for the duration of your style.

Pro Tip:

If you're wearing a wig, apply serum under your wig cap 2–3 times a week and hydrate with diluted leave-in before wrapping.


Real Question from a Subscriber


Q: Do I have to use all 4 steps every week?


A: You don’t have to—but for best results, we recommend bi-weekly. Each step plays a unique role: clarifying, hydrating, sealing, and refreshing. Together, they protect your growth and reduce shedding during your style.


Why This 4-Step Routine Gets Results

Together, these steps:


  • Keep your scalp calm and flake-free

  • Hydrate strands without overloading with oils

  • Prevent shedding and breakage at the root

  • Help your style last longer and look fresher


It’s the difference between breakage on takedown—or a “wow, is that new growth?” moment.
