4C Hair Type

Your tight, densely packed coils are naturally the most prone to shrinkage, giving you a sponge-like texture. 4C curls can be extremely dry, brittle, and prone to breakage without the proper moisturizing routine.

HER ALL-TIME FAVORITES

HER 4C CURL ROUTINE

Sunday Sundays are usually all about self-care for me, so I give my hair the nourishment and moisture it needs by using the Coco Crème Shampoo and Velvet Cream Hair Mask. I part my hair in six workable sections to really get rid of build-up and help detangle. I’ll follow by prepping my hair for a braid-out by sectioning my hair into 6 braids using the Coco Crème Coil Enhancing Moisture Butter.

Monday To start the work week, I’ll keep the braids in to create a quick and easy updo using some pins.

Tuesday After wearing my braids in a cute up-do, replace with “updo” I’m ready to rock my ‘fro. I like to unravel my braids with the Black Vanilla Pure Hair Oil to give my coils a boost of hydration. I add extra oil to my ends, to keep my curls defined and frizz free. To preserve this look, I wear a silk head scarf to bed.

Wednesday To style my hair in the morning, I’ll fluff out my braid-out with some more of the Black Vanilla Pure Hair Oil.

Thursday To give my hair a little break, I’ll use the Black Vanilla Edge Control to sleek out my hair and style it in a high afro puff. On days that I don’t want to rock the sleek look, I’ll accessorize my puff with a cute headband.

Friday To switch out from one high afro puff to two puffs, I’ll part my hair in the middle, smooth out my edges, and apply some Mimosa Hair Honey to add some well-needed moisture back into my hair.

Saturday Saturday is here, which means it’s almost wash day again! To prep, I’ll warm up my favorite Black Vanilla Pure Hair Oil by letting it sit in a cup of hot water from the sink. I apply it on my hair and massage it into my scalp for an overall treatment. I’ll wash it out tomorrow but for now, I’ll detangle, twist up my hair, and rock a stylish head scarf.
