Tips to Care for Coily 4C Hair:
Moisturize:
First, keeping your hair moisturized every time is the most important thing. Because 4C Hair Type is the driest & most brittle of all the hair types, creating & trapping moisture in the strands is vital.
The deep condition should be done once a week & moisturize in between washes. If your hair feels exceptionally dry, use a shea butter or a natural oil mask to help give it an added boost.
Protect and Stretch:
Because your 4c curly hair type is so tightly bound, stretching the hair into styles or braids after moisturizing can help some of those products to absorb into your hair follicle.
Additionally, using protective hairstyles such as cornrows or Box Braids can help limit breakage and lock-in products.
Give Your Hair a Break!
If you use protective styles on your 4A Hair, it’s important to take a break now & then and let your hair feels free! Take a break between each hairstyle to help your scalp breathe & give you a chance to hydrate & heal your strands from the tight styling.
Wash Without Shampoo:
It is best for your hair if you do not wash it every day. Limiting the washes can help avoid breakage, & using quality products such as a clarifying shampoo can help limit it further. However, just because you are washing your hair with shampoo doesn’t mean you are not showing/cleaning your hair. Rinsing with water & using cleansing conditioners can help keep your hair fresh between washes and keep the moisture locked in.
Additional Tips For Kinky 4C Hair:
Oil is not only moisture. While it is important to moisturize the hair roots, the moisturizer you use is very important. Oils can be great to speed with the moisturizing process, but they only lock in the moisture already there. Make sure you are using oil simultaneously as a moisturizer to experience the product’s full benefits.
Sleep in style:
Sleeping on silk or satin pillowcases or using a headscarf made out of the same materials can help to limit the amount of breakage your hair will experience while sleeping.
Avoid the comb:
This might be already important be a law in your house, but it’s important, so it bears repeating. You try to avoid combing your hair when it is dry unless loaded up with a conditioner or another leave-in moisturizer.
