Top 4 Tips for Caring for 4C Natural Hair: Mastering the Kinky Coily Texture

4C hair, when treated right, can be as soft as spun cotton and smooth as butter! Master Beautician, Johanne Joseph,

shares her top four tips for achieving the luscious, kinky coily texture of your dreams.

1. Use a Water-Based Moisturizer

Hydration is key for maintaining manageable and healthy 4C natural hair. Just like you hydrate your body, plants, and pets, it’s essential to feed your hair products that contain water. Over-shampooing can dry out your 4C hair, so using a daily water-based moisturizer is crucial for restoring lost moisture. After rinsing out your deep conditioner, apply a water-based moisturizer to keep your hair hydrated.

When checking product ingredients, look for natural butters like shea butter, mango butter, and avocado butter, which are great for softening hair strands. Remember: Water, fruits, and veggies can make your hair thrive!

2.  Invest in a High-Quality Satin Bonnet
A high-quality satin bonnet is essential for protecting your 4C afro hair while you sleep. Unlike silk pillowcases, a satin bonnet prevents moisture loss and retains your hair’s natural oils, ensuring that your curls stay soft and manageable.

3.  Gently Stretch Your 4C Hair
Stretching your hair is not only beneficial for growth; it also helps break up curl patterns for easier detangling and manageability. Failing to care for your 4C hair and exposing it to the elements can lead to matting and breakage.

To gently stretch your hair, apply a water-based moisturizer and seal it with Moringa Shea Hair Yogurt after washing and conditioning. Divide your hair into four sections and braid it while damp. Once the hair is dry, undo the braids for a smoothed, slightly stretched style.

4. 

Deep Condition Your Natural Hair More Often
Deep conditioning 2-4 times a month is essential for 4C hair. It helps retain moisture and prevents dryness and knotting. Scientifically, deep conditioning keeps the cuticle of the hair sealed, resulting in defined curls, fewer split ends, and softer hair for styling.

Disclaimer: Softening your hair is not about taming or changing the natural state of 4C hair. These tips aim to help you manage your hair daily with ease and allow your kinks to thrive in optimum health with consistent growth. This is not to make others comfortable or to compare with other hair textures.

At J’Organic Solutions, we celebrate 4C hair as the pinnacle of glorious afro textures.
