Choosing a Scalp Oil for Healthy Hair and Edges in Ghana

Many women in Ghana notice thin edges after months of braids, wigs and tight styles. The first reaction is to buy any growth oil and pour it on. That often clogs the scalp and does not fix the habit that caused the thinning.

What causes thin edges

• Styles that pull too tight at the hairline
• Leaving braids in too long
• Dry, flaky scalp that is never massaged or cleansed
• Rough handling when taking styles down

No oil can undo tension that is still happening. Loosen the styles first, then care for the scalp.

What a good scalp oil does

A scalp oil helps you massage the scalp and keeps it from getting dry. The Belruj Naturals Scalp Stimulating and Growth oil (GHS 70) is a blend of natural oils made to massage into the scalp and nourish the roots.

How to use it

1. Part the hair into sections.
2. Put a few drops directly on the scalp, not the length.
3. Massage with your fingertips for 3 to 5 minutes.
4. Use it 2 to 3 times a week. More is not better in hot, humid weather.
5. Seal the length with Nourishing hair butter (from GHS 75) so ends stay soft.

Night habits that protect edges

• Sleep with a satin scarf or bonnet
• Do not tie the scarf tight over the hairline
• Avoid gel and brushing on the edges every day

Be patient

Hair care is slow. Look at your edges after 8 to 12 weeks of gentle habits, not after one week.
