• Great For: Refreshing the scalp after tight protective styles like braids or weaves.

Why It’s Great for All Hair Levels

• The lightweight yet nourishing blend of oils and botanicals makes this product suitable for all hair types, providing hydration, shine, and strength.

• The essential oils enhance scalp circulation, promoting healthy hair growth across the board.

Why It’s Even Better for Level 4 Hair

Level 4 hair (coily, kinky, or afro-textured) requires more moisture, protection, and targeted care, especially when in protective styles like braids, twists, or weaves. Here’s why this oil is especially beneficial:

1. Hydration and Moisture: The rich carrier oils deeply penetrate and seal moisture into the hair shaft, combating the natural dryness of Level 4 hair.

2. Scalp Care: Protective styles often cause tension and can lead to buildup or irritation. The rosemary, peppermint, and clove help to soothe and rejuvenate the scalp, reducing itchiness and inflammation.

3. Strengthening and Growth: Black seed oil and castor oil work synergistically to strengthen fragile strands and promote growth, which is crucial for maintaining healthy edges and avoiding breakage.

4. Protective Benefits: Braided, twisted, or weaved hair can be prone to breakage and dryness. This oil replenishes lost nutrients, keeps the scalp healthy, and prevents brittleness.

5. Refreshing Sensation: The peppermint essential oil provides a cooling effect that soothes tension from tight hairstyles and invigorates the scalp.

How to Use for Optimum Scalp Health for level 4 hair

1. Before Styling: Massage a small amount onto your scalp and hair to hydrate and protect before braiding or weaving.

2. During Protective Styles: Apply to the scalp 2–3 times a week to keep it moisturized and refreshed.

3. After Styling: Use as a scalp treatment to repair any tension or dryness caused by protective styles.

------------------------------------------------------------

For Levels 1-3 hair (straight, wavy, or loose curls), Nanny Arlene’s hair oil can be an excellent addition to a hair care routine. These hair types typically need lighter oils and targeted application to avoid greasiness while benefiting from hydration, shine, and scalp health. Here’s how to use it effectively:

Level 1 Hair (Straight Hair)

Straight hair tends to get oily faster because sebum travels easily down the hair shaft. Use this oil sparingly to avoid weighing down the hair.

1. Scalp Treatment

• Massage a small amount into your scalp before shampooing.

• Leave it on for 15–30 minutes as a pre-shampoo treatment to nourish the scalp and promote growth.

• Shampoo thoroughly to prevent any residue.

2. Dry Ends Repair

• Apply a drop or two to the ends of your hair to seal in moisture and prevent split ends.

• Avoid applying near the roots to prevent greasiness.

3. Overnight Hair Mask

• Use sparingly as a deep treatment: apply a small amount throughout the hair, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends.

• Wash it out the next morning for soft, shiny hair.

Level 2 Hair (Wavy Hair)

Wavy hair can benefit from lightweight hydration and frizz control, especially if prone to dryness at the ends.

1. Frizz Control and Shine

• Warm a few drops between your palms and scrunch lightly into your waves.

• Focus on the ends and mid-lengths to prevent frizz without weighing down your natural texture.

2. Scalp Treatment

• Use as a pre-shampoo scalp massage oil to promote circulation and reduce dryness.

• Let it sit for 20–30 minutes before washing.

3. Post-Wash Finisher

• Apply a tiny amount to damp hair after washing to lock in moisture and enhance wave definition.

Level 3 Hair (Curly Hair)

Curly hair needs more hydration than straight or wavy hair to maintain its curl pattern and reduce frizz.

1. Pre-Shampoo Scalp Treatment

• Apply directly to the scalp and massage gently to nourish the roots and stimulate hair growth.

• Let it sit for 30 minutes or overnight before washing.

2. Leave-In Moisturizer

• After washing, apply a small amount to damp hair to seal in moisture.

• Focus on the ends and mid-lengths to enhance curl definition and reduce frizz.

3. Refresh Curls

• On non-wash days, mix a few drops of the oil with water in a spray bottle.

• Spritz lightly over your curls to refresh and hydrate them without weighing them down.

4. Deep Conditioning Treatment

• Mix the oil with your favorite conditioner or hair mask and apply it to your hair.

• Leave it on for 30 minutes to deeply hydrate and strengthen your curls.

Tips for Levels 1-3 Hair

• Use Sparingly: Levels 1–3 hair types are more prone to looking greasy with heavy oil application, so start with a small amount and build as needed.

• Focus on Scalp or Ends: For oily-prone hair, concentrate on the scalp for treatment or just the ends for hydration.

• Wash Thoroughly: Use a clarifying shampoo periodically to prevent buildup from the oils.

This hair oil, rich in nutrients and lightweight oils, can be adapted to provide hydration, shine, and scalp health for all hair textures without causing excess weight or greasiness.
