Caring for Your 4C Hair
Type 4C hair should be handled with care and flooded with moisture. Due to its tightly coiled texture and proneness to drying and breaking, hydration is key. Wash your hair using a sulfate-free shampoo or opt for the co-wash method. This helps to avoid losing your natural oils. Deep condition regularly to restore moisture and strength, and utilize the LOC or LCO method to lock in hydration for longer.
Always detangle gently, preferably with your fingers or a wide-tooth comb on damp hair. Try to avoid excessive heat and always sleep with a satin or silk bonnet to reduce friction. Lastly, trimming split ends and sticking to a consistent routine will keep your coils healthy and thriving.
