Growing 4C hair requires patience, consistency, and proper care. 

4C hair tends to be drier than other hair types, so it's essential to keep it moisturized. Use a water-based leave-in conditioner or moisturizer to hydrate your hair daily or as needed.

Protective styling: 

Protect your hair in low-manipulation styles that minimize damage and breakage. Options like braids, twists, buns, or updos can help retain length by reducing the frequency of styling and manipulation.

Gentle handling:

  1. Treat your hair with care to prevent unnecessary breakage.
  2. Avoid using harsh combs or brushes, and opt for wide-toothed combs or your fingers for detangling.
  3. Be gentle when styling or manipulating your hair.
