Your Scalp Reset Routine
🌿 The Foundation Reset™ Routine
Your scalp is the foundation of every install.
Before braids, wigs, sew-ins, or twists, one rule stays the same:
Don't seal buildup underneath your style.
This routine is built around EXTRACT™ Scalp Ritual™ — a mineral detox treatment designed to lift buildup, reset the scalp environment, and prepare a clean foundation before every install.
🧬 Step 1 — Detach & Assess
Remove your protective style completely before cleansing.
Then assess your scalp:
- Do you feel heaviness or residue at the roots?
- Is there visible product, oil, or adhesive near the hairline?
- Does your scalp feel itchy, tight, or congested?
If you answered yes to any of the above, your scalp needs a full mineral reset before your next install.
🧴 Step 2 — Apply EXTRACT™
On damp hair and scalp, apply EXTRACT™ Scalp Ritual™ directly to the scalp (not the lengths).
Work in sections for full coverage.
- Massage gently for 2–5 minutes
- Allow to sit for 3–7 minutes
- Focus on high-buildup zones: hairline, crown, and nape
This is the active mineral extraction phase.
💧 Step 3 — Rinse Thoroughly
Rinse completely with warm water.
Ensure all mineral clay is removed from the scalp.
If needed, follow with a gentle shampoo for the lengths only.
🌿 Step 4 — Restore Moisture
After detox, your scalp is clean and highly receptive.
Now reintroduce lightweight hydration:
- water-based scalp moisturizer
- light serum
- gentle scalp oil (minimal amount)
Avoid:
- heavy butters
- thick oils directly on scalp pre-install
Let your scalp rest for a few hours before reinstalling any protective style.
✨ Step 5 — Install on a Clean Foundation
Your scalp is now reset.
No trapped buildup. No sealed residue.
Just a clean foundation ready for a new install cycle.
