Type 4 hair — 4a, 4b and 4c coils — has so many tight bends that the scalp's natural oils travel down slowly, so the ends run dry first. These products layer water-based moisture, then seal it in.
How to choose: the Type 4 Moisture Bundle is the full protein-free wash day. On their own: Sweet Almond Heavy Cream is our richest leave-in, Twist Whip Butter sets twist-outs and braid-outs, and the Babassu Hair Therapy Mask is the plant-protein treatment for breakage-prone coils. Twist-out wearers, start with the Perfect Twist Out Bundle.
What products do I need for 4c hair?
A cleanser, a deep conditioner, a water-based leave-in or butter, and an oil to seal — applied to damp hair in small sections.
Oil or butter to seal 4c hair?
Both, in order: cream or butter first for moisture, oil last to hold it in.
Is shrinkage a bad sign?
No. Shrinkage means your coils are elastic — healthy hair springs back.
