Do you struggle to take care of your 4c curls? If so, you aren’t alone! 4c curls are notoriously difficult to take care of. This doesn’t mean your strands aren’t wonderful or beautiful! 4c curls just need a little extra TLC, and we’re here to show you how. Here’s how to make taking care of 4c curls easier. Give these tips and tricks a try, and let us know how it works for you.
How To Make Taking Care Of 4c Curls Easier
Skip the negativity:
When we start talking negatively about the shape and texture of our curls, it spills over into other areas of our lives. Once those yucky thoughts sneak in, it becomes easier to believe. If you’re constantly crticizing your strands, you might start believing those words to be true. Instead, try to love your strands exactly as they are.
Don’t rush detangling:
As tempting as it can be to rip out snarls or knots, don’t do it. Tearing your curls will only result in breakage or damage. Instead, take your time to properly condition and detangle your strands. Use a widetoothed comb and plenty of conditioner to create slip.
Get regular trims:
A lot of curly girls are reluctant to go to the stylist, especially 4cs, out of fear of losing hard-won inches. We get it; it can feel like it takes forever to see length with 4c curls. However, it’s important to see your stylist. By removing dead or damaged ends, you’re actually allowing your strands to grow longer and stronger tat much faster. Additionally, regular trims will minimize the risk of single strand knots, which means overall healthier hair.
Experiment with styles:
Don’t box yourself in with other people’s expectations about how you should be styling your 4c curls. The sky is the limit. Do what you want with your curls and feel free to experiment. You might find yourself falling in love with your beautiful curls all over again. If you open yourself up to new cuts and styles, you might find you have a refreshed attitude about your strands.
Hands to yourself:
Finally, it’s important to keep your hands to yourself regarding your curls. If you play with your strands too much, you might find your hair becoming frizzy or your curl pattern disrupted. When you over manipulate your curls for styling, you can also pull or damage delicate curls. Instead, try to touch your curls the least amount as possible.
