-
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.
