If you have 4C hair, you know that moisture is everything. Our tightly coiled strands are beautiful but can be prone to dryness if not properly cared for. In this comprehensive guide, we'll share expert tips to keep your 4C hair moisturised and thriving.
Understanding 4C Hair
4C hair has the tightest curl pattern, forming tight coils that zigzag rather than curl. This unique structure means that natural oils from your scalp have a harder time travelling down the hair shaft, which is why moisture retention is so important.
The LOC Method
The LOC (Liquid, Oil, Cream) method is a game-changer for 4C hair. Start with a water-based leave-in conditioner, seal with a natural oil like jojoba or argan, then lock it all in with a thick cream or butter.
Deep Conditioning Tips
Deep conditioning should be a non-negotiable part of your hair care routine. Aim to deep condition at least once a week, using a product rich in moisturising ingredients like shea butter, honey, and avocado oil.
