• ❌ Do NOT leave braids in longer than 8 weeks.

  • ❌ Do NOT apply heavy oils or grease directly to the scalp — can clog follicles.

  • ❌ Do NOT ignore itching, redness, or hair loss — consult a GP or trichologist.

  • ❌ Do NOT use harsh, high-sulfate shampoos — they strip natural oils.

  • ❌ Do NOT sleep on cotton without protection — it causes friction and breakage.

  • ❌ Do NOT rely on oil alone for moisture — use water or leave-in first.
