Understand Your Strands: Celebrating Type 4 Curls and Coils

Known for its tight kinks and coils, Type 4 hair is as diverse as it is beautiful. Let's explore the uniqueness of this hair type and how best to care for it.

What is Type 4 Hair?

Type 4 hair is characterized by its tight kinks and coils, often appearing very voluminous. It's typically more fragile than other hair types and requires gentle care. There are three subtypes:

• Type 4A: Soft, dense coils with a defined S-pattern.
• Type 4B: Has a tighter, less defined curl pattern with a Z-shape.
• Type 4C: Features the tightest coils that can be either densely packed or have less definition.

Challenges and Care Tips

Type 4 hair is naturally dry and prone to breakage, so it's crucial to adopt a gentle, moisture-focused hair care routine:

• Type 4A: Regular moisturizing is key. Use leave-in conditioners and creams to keep coils defined and soft.
• Type 4B: Focus on protective styles and deep conditioning to maintain moisture and reduce tangling.
• Type 4C: Employ regular deep conditioning treatments and gentle detangling methods to maintain hair health.

Best Practices for Maintaining Healthy Type 4 Hair

1. Moisturize Regularly: Use creams, butters, and oils to keep your hair hydrated and nourished.
2. Low Manipulation: Minimize styling techniques that stress your hair and scalp.
3. Protective Styling: Embrace styles that protect your ends and reduce tangling.
