curls and coils, answered

Short answers to the questions we hear most about caring for curls and coils.

Who is the type 3A-4C collection for?

It brings together products that work across type 3 curls and type 4 coils. It suits hair with more than one curl pattern, which is very common, and households shopping for several curl types at once.

How do I find my curl type?

Look at a clean, product-free section of hair as it dries. Loose S-shaped spirals are usually 3A or 3B, tight corkscrews are 3C, and tight coils or zig-zags are type 4. If you are still unsure, take the curl concern quiz.

Where should I start if I am new to curly hair care?

A bundle is the simplest route. The Cantu Starter Bundle and our Curl Wash & Go Bundle each bring a wash day routine together in one order.

How do I style hair with more than one curl pattern?

Use lighter products on looser sections and add a richer cream where hair is tighter or drier. A versatile leave-in such as Mielle Pomegranate & Honey Leave-in Conditioner, followed by a gel like EcoStyle Olive Oil Styling Gel, works across most patterns.

How can I reduce dryness and breakage?

Detangle only on wet, conditioned hair, working from ends to roots with fingers or a wide-tooth comb. A detangler such as SheaMoisture Raw Shea Butter Extra-Moisture Detangler adds slip, and protecting hair overnight reduces friction.

Do type 3 and type 4 hair need different routines?

The steps are the same: cleanse, condition, moisturise and style. What changes is product weight and how often you wash. For more targeted picks, see the type 3A-3C and type 4A-4C collections.
