Styling 4c hair

I picked out some of my favorite 4c hairstyles 🙂

Here are some hairstyles for 4c natural hair :

– Two-strand twists: This hairstyle involves splitting a section of your hair into two equal parts and then wrapping both parts around each other from roots to tips.

– Puff with bangs: This is created by leaving some hair in front, brushing the rest of your hair up, and securing it with a band.

– The halo: Also called the crown, this simple yet chic hairstyle is achieved by braiding the hair from both sides of the head to meet at the back.

– French roll: One of the easiest to create, this hairstyle involves sectioning your hair in front. Next, you sweep one side of your hair to the middle and secure it with bobby pins.

– Three-strand twist: This hairstyle is created by splitting a section of your hair into three equal parts and then wrapping each part around the other to create a finish uniquely distinct from the two-strand twists.

– Straw curls: One of the best ways to get well-defined bouncy curls, this hairstyle can be created by rolling your hair with a pack of straws.

– Flat twists: Another member of the Twists family, flat twists are an alternative to the traditional cornrows. This hairstyle involves weaving the hair into twists that lay flat on your head.

– The Cinnabun: This hairstyle is created by first brushing and securing the hair into a puff with an elastic band, followed by rolling some strands of that puff from tips to roots and then pinning it down.

– Frohawk: This hairstyle is a blend of the “afro” and the “mohawk” hairstyles, hence the portmanteau “frohawk”. It is created by sweeping and pinning both sides of the hair to the middle part of the head and then leaving the hair in the middle to hang loose.

– Bantu knots: This hairstyle is a way to celebrate your African roots. It is done by rolling a section of your hair to form a knot.

Good luck styling your hair ❤

Tips for 4c hair

The 4c hair is the thickest and coiliest type of hair. It is common among Africans and Black Americans. It is actually hard to manage 4c hair so I’m giving tips on managing the 4c hair.

How to comb 4c hair

The mistake most people make when combing their 4c hair is combing it dry.Get your 4c hair wet before combing. Start by finger combing. Then use a wide tooth comb. Never use a fine tooth comb to comb your 4c hair. It causes breakage of hair at the tips. So when combing your hair start with :

Finger combing

Then you brush with the brush below.

Remember never use a fine tooth comb.

Spritz your hair daily with water.Use a spray bottle to spritz your hair daily. Then use a moisturizer. Doing this daily helps to retain moisture in your hair and prevent hair breakage.
