Seabreeze is an astringent and can be used to cleanse the scalp. As a matter of fact, it's recommended to use in the beginning stages of your braids. Please stay away from pink oil moisturizer or anything that contains mineral oil. It's no good. Mineral oil/Petrolatum is a substance that just lays on top of the hair and attracts dust. It tends to interfere with the body's own natural moisturizing mechanism, and disrupts the skin's natural immune barrier leading to dry skin. The reason why you see the substance in many products because it's cheap. Look for natural ingredients in the products you buy.
