As a girl with type 4 textured hair, things can get expensive not only quickly, but not each product works the same. For me personally, my hair is a big fan of hydration, creams, oils, and a routine. Of course, this routine comes not only from healthy habits but the right products, and most importantly, knowing what your hair needs. To better describe this as said I'm a type 4 of curly and coily, leaning towards 4a-4b, in which my hair loves hydration, but I can't use things like gel, my hair doesn't like it no matter the brand even the “better” options, so instead I tackle slick backs and edges differently, my hair also doesn't enjoy the heavy nature of some products, so something in the middle works well. I'll deep dive into some products.
