How well do you know your curls? There is no denying that Type 3 or 4 Natural hair (Curly & Coily) can be temperamental if you do not use the right products.
Hair types 3A, 3B, 3C is naturally curly and has an “S” shape. This hair type forms ringlets that are naturally defined. Type 3 tends to be dry due to its texture. The natural oils found in the scalp are not heavy enough to get to the end of the curl.
Hair types 4A, 4B, 4C also widely known as coily hair, might look very dense and robust, but they are actually the most fragile and have a dry texture with the fewest cuticle layers. Coily hair tends to be very dry, and it breaks more easily and can appear less defined due to its very tight S to Z pattern. Type 4 hair textures have a flat diameter and do not grow as quickly compared to an oval Caucasian hair texture. The main concerns about these textures are dryness, breakage and shrinkage.
Without the proper knowledge about your type 3 or 4 natural hair type, things can become a little challenging when it comes to caring for and styling your hair.

So to simplify the process, we created the easiest routines for every texture and broke down the best products to make it all happen.
