Tension Tamer

Dark & Lovely Protective Styles Tension Tamer is a light scalp-soothing lotion made especially for people wearing protective styles (braids, locs, wigs, weaves, etc.). It’s formulated to relieve tightness or discomfort at the scalp by delivering a cooling sensation and nourishment—without heavy greasiness. The formula is free from silicones, mineral oil, and petrolatum, so it aims to leave less buildup while helping maintain healthy edges and hairlines.

• Cooling effect (from menthol / peppermint) for instant scalp relief
• Moisturizes scalp and hairline without using heavy or greasy ingredients
• Helps maintain healthy-looking hair and hairline even while style is worn long-term
