Collection: Best Products For 4C Hair

For a 4C hair routine, it’s important to focus on moisture retention, gentle handling, and protective styling. Here are some key steps:

1. Pre-Poo Treatment

• Why: Protects hair from being stripped of natural oils during washing.
• How: Apply a mixture of oils or a conditioner to dry hair. Leave it on for at least 30 minutes under a shower cap.

2. Gentle Cleansing

• Why: Cleansing is crucial for scalp health but can be drying.
• How: Use a sulfate-free, moisturizing shampoo or co-wash. Focus on the scalp, letting the suds cleanse the length of your hair.

3. Deep Conditioning

• Why: Helps to strengthen hair and lock in moisture.
• How: Apply a deep conditioner, preferably with heat (like a hooded dryer or heat cap) for 20-30 minutes.

4. Moisturizing

• Why: 4C hair is prone to dryness.
• How: Use the LOC method (Liquid, Oil, Cream) or LCO method, depending on what your hair responds to best. Start with a leave-in conditioner, follow with oil , and then a cream to seal in moisture.

5. Detangling

• Why: Prevents breakage and makes styling easier.
• How: Use a wide-tooth comb or your fingers, and detangle in small sections starting from the ends to the roots. Detangle when the hair is wet and coated with conditioner or a detangling product.

6. Styling

• Why: Protects hair from damage and promotes length retention.
• How: Opt for protective styles like twists, braids, or Bantu knots. Ensure the styles are not too tight to avoid tension on the scalp.

7. Night Care

• Why: Reduces friction and moisture loss.
• How: Sleep with a satin or silk scarf, bonnet, or pillowcase to keep hair moisturized and minimize breakage.

8. Regular Trimming

• Why: Removes split ends and prevents them from traveling up the hair shaft.
• How: Trim your hair every 8-12 weeks, or as needed.

9. Protective Styling

• Why: Minimizes daily manipulation and protects ends.
• How: Use styles like box braids, twists, or cornrows, but remember to keep them clean and moisturized.
