Don’t Care! Tips For Our Type 4 Curly Girls!"},"content":{"rendered":"
For several years, natural hair was stereotyped and only thought of as ringlet-like, curly, long hair. But now, we\u2019re in a time where Type 4 hair is getting more recognition. Young girls and women are embracing they\u2019re natural kinky textures and I absolutely love it! Now, one problem that is still occurring is not knowing how to properly care for coarse hair. I\u2019m here to help!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Textured\u00a0hair has a tendency to be drier than other hair types. This means you have to show it a bit more TLC, which brings me to the first tip:\u00a0Add m<\/strong>oisture.<\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
First, you will need to learn what type of hair you have: low, normal, or high porosity. Porosity is your hair\u2019s ability to absorb moisture. To find your hair\u2019s porosity level: place a couple of strands of your hair in a glass of water.<\/div>\n

If you have low porosity, your hair is resistant to receiving water and moisture. Avoid using butters and oils and focus more on creams<\/a>.<\/div>\n
If you have normal porosity, your hair holds moisture and shine. Your hair is basically in the winning position, which means you can almost get away with using all products.<\/div>\n
If you have high porosity, your hair absorbs the products but loses moisture though the day. I suggest using butters<\/a> and oils to lock in the moisture.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In order to keep your hair healthy, you must keep up with monthly\u00a0trims\u00a0<\/b>or\u00a0<\/b>even a new cut. I recommend regular trims at least every 3-6months by a professional.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Here are two benefits of keeping your hair trimmed or cut:<\/div>\n
\u2022Healthy ends – getting regular trims can help you avoid split ends<\/div>\n
\n

\u2022Less breakage – a trim can also eliminate split ends, causing your hair to grow more healthily<\/p>\n

Yes, we love the possibility of being versatile with our hair and trying different styles. I personally love to do twist-outs, braid-outs, and curl styles using rollers. Whenever I style my hair, I avoid\u00a0heat<\/b>\u00a0in every way possible. My biggest fear is heat damage!<\/em> But the truth is, heat is only bad when you ignore the basics of heat styling. If you\u2019re going to use heat, here\u2019s some tips to be careful:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u2022Use heat protectant – heat protectants decrease the chance of destroying your tresses<\/div>\n
\u2022Don\u2019t over use – Sometimes, you want straight hair for a month. I wouldn\u2019t recommend straightening your natural hair everyday, even if you\u2019re using a protectant. Try twice a month or opt out for a straight wig<\/div>\n
\u2022Try different methods – If you\u2019re too much in a rush to not let your hair air dry and insist on using a blowdryer, adjust the settings. For naturals, using the low or cool setting can reduce the chances of getting heat damage.<\/div>\n
