After scrunching out the excess water from your sopping-wet hair, rub a quarter-size dollop of leave-in between your hands and finger-rake it through your curls, making sure to coat every layer evenly.
To keep all that moisture you just layered on your curls from evaporating throughout the day, finish with a mid-to-heavy oil, which acts like a sealant for your hair. Coat your ends by lightly scrunching coconut oil into them, and use the tips of your fingers to massage the oil into your roots. Because 4A coils usually have a well-defined S pattern, they tend to retain moisture better than any of the other type 4 hair, which means they also experience the least amount of shrinkage.
A combo of creams, oils, and gels will maximize your corkscrew texture while keeping all the good, hair-healing moisture from escaping too quickly. Rub a quarter-size dollop of curl cream between your hands and finger-rake it through your wet hair, making sure to cover your hairline, ends, and nape of your neck. Note: Although your cream will add a ton of moisture to your hair, you can start with your favorite leave-in if you have extra-dry, shrinkage-prone coils. If your coils are on the coarse side, you can opt for a curl butter instead, for even more hydration.
Now that you have a coat or two of moisture on your coils, lock in all the hydration with a layer of oil try anything with a base of coconut, jojoba, avocado, mongongo, or Jamaican black castor oil.
Gently massage a bit through your roots and hairline too. To define your coils and get that perfect corkscrew shape, rub a quarter-size drop of gel between your hands and rake it through your hair, working on one quadrant at a time. With some gel still on your hands, finger-coil small sections of hair until the entire quadrant is coiled. Repeat until your whole head has been gelled and defined. Rather than curling or coiling around themselves in an S pattern, 4B strands bend in a sharp, zigzagged Z shape.
Although each curl type is characteristically drier the farther it is on the scale, type 4 hair especially B and C is the most prone to moisture loss, shrinkage, and breakage. All of which means that your main styling goal is to infuse each strand with a ton of hydration while keeping your coils defined and stretched. Your hair can handle rich formulas, so load it up with a nourishing leave-in conditioner to start.
Clip your wet hair into sections Kristina, here, separates hers into four quadrants and rake a palmful of leave-in through each quadrant, unclipping and re-clipping as you work to keep your coils from drying out. Then with your hands still covered with conditioner, go back in and finger-coil each section to really work the product into your strands.
Yes, this will take you a hot second, but the end result is worth it. The S-bends are well-defined and begin at the roots. Shakira is the perfect example of this hair type.
Dickey also recommends layering a leave-in conditioner under a mousse to lock in your hair's natural wave pattern while adding hydration.
Type 3 curly hair can range from loose, buoyant loops to tight, springy corkscrews which have some sheen but are prone to frizz. Keep your hands or brush or comb, for that matter from touching your curls afterward, or you run the risk of having a halo full of frizz. Hair type 3Bs have springy ringlets with a circumference similar to that of a Sharpie marker. This hair texture can get dry, so look for styling gels that have humectants in them to attract moisture to strands. A word of advice: "Apply when [your hair is] wet, so you'll get definition without frizz," Dickey shares.
Strands are densely packed together, giving way to lots of natural volume. Frizziness is common with this type; if that's not a look you're into, use a sulfate-free, creamy cleanser, like the Oyin Handmade Ginger Mint Co-Wash , that won't dry out your hair even more.
The good part is, 3b curls have the necessary body to keep curly throughout the day after being styled and cared for. Plus, they have that sexy wet wavy appearance when it rains, as opposed to 3a that gets a mixture of curls and straight hair strands from humidity. The cons: the curlier, the more dehydrated and frizzier it can get. Before jumping on high-density oils and creams, consider offering more hydration from beforehand, applying a treatment or hair oil for at least 10 minutes before washing.
Use lightweight curling cream and let it air-dry, cotton T-shirt dry or use the diffuser on low temperature. The serious styling starts in-shower. Remember the scrunching and spreading of the curling cream with a detangler? In case of 3c curls, the curling cream must be applied with the fingers only to avoid damaging the curls and adding unwanted frizz.
After the cream is evenly distributed, apply a moisturising oil like jojoba or argan oil to seal in the moisture from the cream and smooth, once again, any frizz left. After that, proceed with normal air drying, cotton t-shirt drying or if necessary, use the diffuser on low temperature.
Heat styling may give you the look you desire for a day, but over time it can damage your naturally dry type 3 hair. Too much heat styling leads to dried-out curls, split ends, and breakage. Shampooing too frequently also dries out your naturally curly hair as well. Another tip is to sleep on a satin pillowcase to avoid snagging your curls in rough fabric fibers.
