In 2022, black women are enjoying their natural hair more than ever. Once again, we pay tribute to our gorgeous sisters who proudly display their short, kinky natural curls, as well as their long, beautiful locs. We’re proud of women who move and curl their hair in a whirlwind of curls to show off their true 4C texture.
What many people don’t realize is how much love and care your 4C hair needs, especially hydration, gentle detangling and lots of nourishment. Remember that your hair reflects what you put into it, so treating it well is key.
While personal habits affect hair quality, the right products can make a big difference in curl definition and softness. No one loves our crowns more than the products that take care of our hair and reinvent the way we take care of it.
From conditioners to edge controllers, you’ll discover a selection of our favorite OG products that have served us well in the past and continue to today.
