Which item would be least likely to cause scalp irritation during braids?

  1. Creamy products

  2. Lightweight products

  3. Oil-based products

  4. Thick products

The correct answer is: Lightweight products

Scalp irritation during braids can be caused by a number of factors, including the products used. Creamy products and oil-based products are both heavier and have a greater likelihood of causing buildup and clogging pores, which can lead to irritation. Thick products may also cause irritation due to their weight and potential for residue to build up on the scalp. On the other hand, lightweight products are less likely to cause buildup or weigh down the hair, making them the least likely to cause scalp irritation during braids.
