Tips and Hacks

- When combing and brushing always start at the ends first then the rest of your hair.(DO NOT bush and comb from root to ends.)
- If you dont feel like applying serum with your hand apply serum to your brush and use that to apply the serum evenly.
- When taking out your braid outs and twist outs make sure to have a little serum on your fingertips for an easier takedown process
- During the week if your hair looks dry add a little of your fav leave- in conditioner and follow up and a few pumps of serum to revive your curls between wash days.

- Coily or tightly curled hair
- Can look coarse but is actually very soft and delicate
- Lots of tight coils and forms an “S” pattern when stretched
- 4A hair is prone to dryness and damage, so it needs all the moisture it can get, to keep it healthy and strong

- It's soft and fluffy
- Coils form a “Z” shape, and it resembles a zigzag shape with sharp angles

- Very tight zig-zag pattern that is sometimes indiscernible to the eye
- Greatest amount of shrinkage (about 75 percent or more)
- 4b hair is fluffy and can be soft or coarse depending on hair texture
