Type 1 - Straight
A lightweight shampoo and conditioner is all they need. Avoid heavy creams or oils as they can weigh straight hair down. A quick detangle spray after washing makes brushing a breeze. Less is more with straight hair. Keep the routine simple!
Type 2 - Wavy
Scrunch don't brush! Brushing breaks up the wave pattern. A light cream helps define waves without crunch. Let hair air dry when possible to enhance the natural wave and avoid heavy products that can make wavy hair feel greasy.
Type 3 - Curly
Always detangle when wet with a wide tooth comb or fingers. A curl defining cream helps keep spirals bouncy and frizz free. Co washing between shampoos keeps curls hydrated. Pineapple hair at night to protect curls while they sleep.
Type 4 - Coiled
Moisture is KEY! Detangle in sections with plenty of conditioner to avoid breakage. Protective styles like twists or braids help retain length. Seal in moisture with a hair butter or oil after washing.
