Type 4A curly texture is defined by its tightly curled s-curl pattern. It's not quite kinky, not just curly, but perfectly just right in between.
Decoding the Essence of 4A Hair
Caring for Your Precious 4A Curls
Hydration, the lifeblood of curls, is essential for 4A hair.
Excessive washing strips 4A curls of their vital oils, leading to hair damage. Limit washing to twice a week, the right balance that upholds hygiene whilst honoring the curly essence. Although this serves as a guideline, feel free to adapt as your hair's response will guide you.
Opt for sulfate-free shampoos like the Heat Free Hair Fresh Kept Secret Shampoo, available in all our Perfect Extensions Kits, to ensure hydration, while monthly clarifying sessions liberate your hair from product build-up, invigorating it to unbridled vibrancy.
4A curls bask in pre-shampoo hydration treatments, whether a deep conditioner or a gentle caress of coconut oil, gracefully diffused through your tresses. This essential step elevates hydration and shields your curls from post-wash dryness.
Secure your hair's moisture with leave-in conditioners or a nourishing oil, defending against sun-induced dryness. Braving humidity or rain, an oil/conditioner barrier empowers your hair to stand resolute.
Mirroring the sun's impact, heat styling instruments can dry and damage your hair, if over reliant on them or not using the right heat-protectant products. Opt for curl-enhancing, moisturizing products, rivaling or surpassing heated counterparts.
Bedtime hair care routine is the perfect time to safeguard your curls with extra care. Cover your hair in silk or satin wrap to protect your hair from unnecessary frizz, reduce friction and retain moisture. Embrace morning readiness as your curls preserve their elegance overnight. Unwanted friction is thwarted, preventing undefined curls and stray hairs. This simple night time care routine preserves your curls and minimizes daily styling demands.
