However, these are some of the defining qualities of 4C hair:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Hair dries out quickly, or struggles to maintain moisture more than other curl patterns<\/li>\n<li>Individuals can experience extreme shrinkage, sometimes up to 75%!<\/li>\n<li>Hair is prone to tangles and matting if not properly cared for and regularly detangled<\/li>\n<li>Hair is fragile and prone to breakage<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So how do you address the unique challenges (and enjoy the unique beauty!) that come with 4C hair? The trick is a natural hair regimen that keeps your hair healthy.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>1. RETAIN MOISTURE.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Regardless of whether you have low porosity hair, 4C hair should be kept saturated. The wrinkles and loops of 4C twists forestall the conveyance of sebum (natural oil delivered by your scalp) all through your hair.<\/p>\n<p>This permits your hair to dry out quicker than other twist designs, so you have to avoid potential risk to keep your hair saturated. Locate a decent lotion AND a decent sealant.<\/p>\n<p>Oils like coconut oil and olive oil, and creams like Shea spread are powerful at fixing dampness in your hair. On the off chance that you wear a defensive style, remember to saturate normally!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>2. SHAMPOO MINDFULLY.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Indeed, you despite everything need to cleanser normally to keep your scalp and hair clean-yet you can stretch the time between washes to 2, 3, or even a month. Maintain a strategic distance from shampoos that contain sulfates or any of\u00a0these other unsafe ingredients,\u00a0and decide on a mellow, sans sulfate cleanser like this\u00a0Cleansing Avocado Shampoo.<\/p>\n<p>If your hair gets filthy all the more regularly, exchange cleanser with cowash or follow cleanser with an\u00a0apple juice vinegar wash. Wash your hair in segments to forestall tangles.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>3. DETANGLE.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>This is extra important for 4C girls because the tight curl pattern of your hair can cause hairs to curl and coil around each other, causing tangles. Tangles lead to breakage, which hinders growth. Detangle regularly and gently, using a wide-toothed comb on damp hair (don\u2019t use a brush!) Use conditioners to add slip and help with the process. When you find knots, don\u2019t yank- use your fingers to gently pull hairs out of the knot.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>4. DEEP CONDITION.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>While we recommend most customers deep condition every 2 weeks, 4C hair, in particular, thrives with weekly deep conditioning treatments. This will keep your hair healthy, bouncy, and shiny, and will prevent snagging and tangles.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>5. AVOID OVERSTYLING.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Styling products dry out your hair, build up on your scalp, weigh down your hair, etc. Touching and styling your hair excessively can also lead to breakage. Explore styles that require\u00a0less\u00a0styling products, or alternate between high and low manipulation styles to give your hair a break.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>6. STYLE WITH SHRINKAGE IN MIND.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Shrinkage can be frustrating because it keeps you from seeing growth, and it can also make your hair more susceptible to tangles and single strand knots. You can explore heat-free styles that stretch your hair, such as twist outs, braid outs, and bantu knots. But don&#8217;t forget to embrace and celebrate shrinkage, and have fun with it! 4C hair lends itself to so many styling options.<\/p>\n<p><b>Suggested 4c styles<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Two strand twists<\/li>\n<li>Twist outs<\/li>\n<li>Bantu knots<\/li>\n<li>Puff<\/li>\n<li>Afro<\/li>\n<li>Buns or space buns<\/li>\n<li>As with any other hair type, you can use clip ins, extensions, or crochet braids to switch up your look\u00a0or add length.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>7. LOVE YOUR 4C HAIR.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Some people have grown up hearing that 4C hair is unmanageable, unattractive, or otherwise undesirable. These ideas are as far from the truth as it gets! 4C hair is not only beautiful but incredibly versatile, capable of infinite styles and looks. 4C curls are also easily managed and taken care of with the correct regimen and products. Celebrate your hair with pride!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1494\" style=\"width: 570px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/whatthecurls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/SMG-TNS-thumb-new-3-1.webp \"  type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/whatthecurls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/SMG-TNS-thumb-new-3-1.jpg\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1494 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"4C Natural Hair Care Tips For A Great Hair Day!\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1494\" loading=\"lazy\"  > <\/picture><p id=\"caption-attachment-1494\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">4C Natural Hair Care Tips For A Great Hair Day!<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>What to read next?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"entry-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/whatthecurls.com\/how-to-do-knotless-braids-like-a-boss\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">How To Do Knotless Braids Like A Boss!<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"entry-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/whatthecurls.com\/hair-growth-formula\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">The Best Hair Growth Formula That Actually Works<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"entry-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/whatthecurls.com\/pinterest-for-marketing\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Awesome Ways On How To Use Pinterest For Marketing<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>4c natural hair\u00a0has the tightest curls of all hair patterns, with hairs forming tight s&#8217;s, z&#8217;s or coils. 4C Natural Hair Care Tips For A Great Hair Day!
