All About Type 4 Hair: Thick Where It Counts. Period.
It’s giving strength, volume, and don’t-play-with-me beauty.
If your hair could talk, it wouldn’t whisper. It would speak in parables, poems, and power.
Type 4 hair is not difficult. It’s divine.
From 4A’s soft spirals to 4C’s cottony coils, this hair type don’t need to be tamed. It needs to be understood.
And that’s where Grow Your Edges Back slides in—respectfully—with products made for all that texture you’re working with.
✨ Type 4 Breakdown
4A: Defined, tight coils that love moisture but hate buildup.
4B: Z-shaped curls that shrink like they owe somebody money.
4C: Fluffy, fierce, and fragile, but only if neglected.
