A Pro’s Guide To Taking Care Of 4b Hair Gorgeous 4b hair The "forgotten middle child" phenomenon affects 4b hair types. It's unique from its 4a and 4c variants, yet it's frequently overlooked. 4b hair is not interchangeable with 4a or 4c hair. Its distinct Z-shaped curl pattern sets it apart from other Type 4 hair, and it necessitates particular ways to moisturize, maintain, and grow it. Let's look at the 4b hair characteristics and how to take care of the 4b curl pattern.
Characteristics Of 4b Hair Type Characteristic of 4b natural hair 1.Instead of the S-shaped curl pattern seen in other Type 4 hair, 4B Hair has a distinct Z- shaped pattern. 2.Instead of ringlets, the curls have acute, angular bends. 3.The curls are approximately the width of a ballpoint pen. 4.The hair is prone to shrinkage and makes it appear much shorter.

Wash Day Routine Wash day is the foundation of many outstanding natural hair routines, particularly for short or Long 4B Hair. For moisturized, juicy coils, a wash-day regimen is crucial. The angular coils require extensive hydration to avoid the risk of breakage, which begins with wash day. Pre-Pooing 4b Hair Your hair will benefit from a pre-poo oil treatment. You can add shine and moisture according to the oil you choose. It's also possible to encourage hair growth and softening. Divide your 4b hair type into sections, detangle and apply the oil from roots to ends. Pay extra attention to the ends as they tend to be the driest. Wash it after 30 minutes. Shampooing Natural hair collects debris and product residue. Shampoo every 2 weeks and condition on alternate weeks to retain moisture. Deep Conditioning Deep conditioning is a must for this 4b hair type. After you've washed your hair with shampoo, you should always thoroughly deep condition it. Unlike 4A Hair, 4b needs as much moisture as possible and deep conditioners with moisturizing and friction-reducing ingredients. Using A Thermal Cap This is an essential tool for natural hair with low porosity. Deep conditioning with a low porosity natural is useless unless you elevate your cuticles to allow the product to penetrate. That's exactly what the thermal cap will do! It is more effective and inexpensive compared to steamers. Related Article: How to Choose the Best 4B Hair Product? Moisturizing And Sealing The final step in your 4b hair wash day process is to hydrate and seal your hair. Use a leave-in conditioner that is developed with moisture and focuses on hydration to moisturize 4b strands efficiently.
To keep the leave-in from drying, use an oil-based product. These products usually have a buttery, cream-like texture and will prevent 4b strands from tangling. When you use a cream-based conditioner, you don't have to seal it with oil, but you might like to use a gel as the final step to accentuate your coils. Conclusion The zigzag design of the 4b curl pattern makes it susceptible to knots, shrinkage, and breakage because it is not the same as 4a or 4c natural hair. Follow the pro's guide mentioned above for 4b hair types. Shop for 4b hair care essentials from Indique Virgin Hair Extensions. They have a selected collection of moisturizing hair care products that will make dealing with 4b curls and coils much easier– and make your natural hair healthy and lustrous.
