How To Take Care Of Type 3 & 4 Hair

I've had a wonderful time discussing these hair types and now we're down to the final two.  I hope you've found this information useful and it has helped you along your journey and you saved time and money. 

Let's get started...

Type 3 and 4 hair care 

Type 3 hair needs to be kept as moist as possible; when it dries out, it starts to break. 

• Wash every three days or so with a moisturizing shampoo.
• If wearing natural, rinse daily to keep hair moist.
• Use moisturizing conditioner following each shampoo.
• Deep-condition hair twice a month.

Moisture is the key word with this hair type. Don't get confused with thinking oil is a moisturizer.

 Oil is not a moisturizer. Oil and water do not mix. All a hot-oil treatment does is lubricate the hair, making it a little softer and shinier. But it will never saturate the hair with moisture. 

Use heat when deep conditioning.  The heat swells the hair shaft, making it easier for conditioners to penetrate. Use a heat cap or hooded dryer with a plastic bag.  Or you can use a heated towel. When looking conditioners, look for ingredients with lanolin and protein.
