Cantu Protective Styles Set & Refresh Foam 8 oz — Apple Cider Vinegar & Aloe for Braids, Wigs, Locs

Cantu Protective Styles by Angela Set & Refresh Foam is a lightweight foaming treatment that instantly renews braided styles, wigs, locs, and extensions using apple cider vinegar and aloe.

This specially formulated 8-ounce foam was co-created with stylist Angela Stevens to gently refresh protective styles while nourishing scalp and strands. The blend uses apple cider vinegar to help reduce flaking and dryness and aloe to soothe and hydrate, all in a residue-free, non-crunchy foam designed to smooth edges and revive texture without harsh sulfates or phthalates.

How will this foam revive my braids, locs, or wig?

The foam restores bounce and reduces signs of buildup by lightly cleansing and conditioning the hair and scalp. Its airy texture reaches roots and extensions without soaking or weighing down your style, making it ideal for mid-style touch-ups.

• Light foaming action lifts dirt and product buildup gently
• Apple cider vinegar helps balance scalp and reduce flaking
• Aloe delivers calming hydration to strands and skin
• Dries without stiffness or visible residue

Can I use it on edges and delicate areas without a sticky finish?

Yes — the formula is created to smooth edges and lay flyaways while remaining non-sticky. It absorbs quickly and leaves hair manageable, not crunchy, so you can style around your hairline with control and a natural look.

• Quick-absorbing foam for precise application
• Non-greasy finish prevents flaking or stiffness
• Helps tame baby hairs and soften edges

Is this safe for my scalp and color-treated pieces?

The foam is free from sulfates and phthalates and contains gentle, scalp-soothing ingredients like aloe and apple cider vinegar. While safe for protective styles and most treated hair, test on a small area of color-treated pieces if you have recently processed hair.

• No harsh sulfates or phthalates included
• Aloe supports a calm, hydrated scalp
• Apple cider vinegar helps reduce dryness and flaking

How should I apply the Set & Refresh Foam for best results?

Dispense a small amount and apply directly to roots, hairline, or extension lengths, then smooth with fingers or a soft brush. Use as a spot refresher between washes or after styling to maintain shape and scalp comfort without rewetting the entire style.

• Use a pea- to quarter-sized amount depending on area
• Apply to roots/edges and gently smooth into place
• Allow to air-dry; no heavy rinsing required for refreshes

Who is this for: Ideal for anyone wearing protective styles—braids, twists, locs, wigs, weaves, and curly extensions—who wants an easy, lightweight way to refresh their look and soothe the scalp. It's particularly useful for people seeking a non-crunch finish and gentle ingredients to maintain style longevity and scalp health.
