Hair typing & my hair!

SOOO  in the natural hair community, hair typing is a BIG thing. To me, not so much. But for the sakes of everyone that is lost on hair type, here's how to determine yours.

This is my hair without any product & without being combed out. I am a type 4a, this is what i have almost all over my head (there's a few 3c in random sections). Here's the description for my hair type.

Type 4a is tightly coiled hair that has an "S" pattern. It has more moisture than 4b; it has a definite curl pattern. The circumference of the spirals is close to that of a crochet needle. The hair can be wiry or fine-textured. It is very fragile with lots of strands densely packed together. Type 4 hair has fewer cuticle layers than other hair types, which means it has less natural protection from damage.

Tips for 4a hair

  • Co wash hair frequently with a moisturizing conditioner
  • Restore and renew my  dry Coily Springy hair with a deep conditioner once a week. Hydrate, soften and nourish my Coily Springy hair with moisturizers and natural oils.
