Afrocenchix
Our Take
The product that started Afrocenchix. Created by founders Rachael and Joycelyn to address their own traction alopecia, Soothe is a lightweight scalp oil formulated to promote healthy growth and relieve itchiness without clogging pores. The olive, almond, grapeseed, and wheatgerm oil base is deliberately lighter than a hair oil — it absorbs into the scalp rather than sitting on it. The lavender and cedarwood essential oils add clinically-recognised anti-inflammatory properties. Hailed by Vogue as one of the best scalp oils on the market. Apply 2–4 times per week using the nozzle applicator, massaging into the scalp for 2–3 minutes. Particularly effective on itchy scalps, eczema-prone scalps, and under protective styles. Protein-free.
