Do you know your hair type?

According to the article below, I am a 4c but I believe I have all kinds of textures flowing around my head. The front of my head is almost straight as if I put a perm in it. The middle is extra kinky tight and the the sides are curly!
 The best thing is to just learn what products works for your hair type!

Kinky hair types (type 4 hair)

4a hair has a defined curl pattern almost like a “s” shape. Generally speaking it retains moisture fairly well, but as with most curly hair types can still be prone to dryness. Being that this hair type has a naturally defined curl pattern wash n’ go styles may be a great option as it can be easily achieved with the right product and technique. Gentle sulfate free shampoos, conditioners and rich creamy products or butters will be helpful for keeping hair moisturized.

 
 
 
 

4b hair has a “z” shape pattern and has a more fluffy cottony appearance. Due to the bends and curves in the hair strand it is highly susceptible to dryness and breakage. This hair type shrinks up to 70% so without stretching out the hair it will appear shorter than it actually is. Naturals with this hair type will benefit from protective (buns, twists, braids)  and low manipulation styles (roller sets, ponytail puffs, twist outs) to protect the hair from damage. A lot of moisture, gentle cleansers and frequent deep conditioning will be helpful for naturals with 4b hair.

 
 
 
 

4c hair looks similar to 4b hair type only it is more tightly coiled. In its raw state (no products added and freshly washed) it does not have a defined curl pattern. Coils have to be defined by either twisting, braiding, or shingling through the strands. Many 4c naturals have shrinkage up to 70% or more. So while your hair may be 10 inches long it may appear like you only have 3 inches of hair if you do not stretch your hair out. It is the most fragile hair type, so if you desire to grow your hair long protective styles like twists, braids, or buns should be your go to style choice. These styles do not require daily manipulation (combing/brushing) giving hair less chances to break off.  You can then wear your hair out for a couple of days in a low manipulation style (puffs, roller sets, twist outs) and then repeat the cycle for a balanced routine.

Bobbi Boss Bohemian braids crochet

Hey there my naturalistas! I finally got around to taking pics of my hair. I decided to try out Bobbi Boss Bohemian Braid and for the record I hated it! I felt it was too soft and tangled very easy. I am not a big fan of this curl pattern. It turned out bigger than I wanted it but I didn't care to trim it. I was over it after I installed it but since I am on a budget I decided to tough it out.

Thinking of all the plans God has in store for me!!

one more view of my scarf!! Love it!

I do love the highlights!
