Styling Products for 4C Natural Hair

These are natural products that help us to groom our hair. There are just as many on the market as there are shampoos and conditioners. You can choose from lotions or creams, or Gel Soufflé depending on the desired effect you want to achieve.  They work best on freshly watched hair that’s been conditioned and detangled. The products are easy to apply and spread smoothly into the hair, allowing you to form a curl pattern to your hair.

These styling products are very useful for home use since not many hairdressers know how to take care of kinky hair. Due to this common problem that most of us natural hair-wearing women have encountered at some time, we have to learn to care for and style our natural hair. Styling products such as smoothies, curly pudding, etc., help us to gain desired styles – twist outs, braid outs, wash and go, etc.

One of my top go-to styling products is the Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie. This cream-based product can be used on all curly hair types, but it works best on thick curls. It provides a more natural, touchable look, unlike the soufflé, which is gel-based. It has proteins and oils, and it gives your hair a beautiful shine without the greasy look.  Kinky-Curly Curling Custard promises to give moisture and curl definition, hold, and brilliant shiny hair! This is a gel-like product and is highly concentrated, so a little goes a long way. Miss Jessie’s Curly Meringue is excellent for two-strand twists, braid-outs, spiral rod sets, finger styling, curly weaves and more.
