This combination seems to work great for Type 3 curl pattern, but not enough hold for a Type 4 curl pattern. I tried this combination twice, and twice I shrink into an "afro" within a few hours. Reminder: I have type 4 curl pattern. Actually, the difference between the regimens for Type 3 and Type 4 curl patterns is the last product used.In detail, the regimen goes like this: 1) KeraCare Cleansing Cream: shampoo between 1 and 3 times as needed. 2) Towel blot. Skip the deep conditioning step if your hair is healthy and not too porous. Deep conditioning sometimes makes the hair strands too soft. 3) Use the Mixed Chicks Leave-in Conditioner to give you volume and shape. 4) Miss Jessie's Quick Curls helps give added control. The "Quick Curls" do not seem to hold Type 4 hair, but does great on Type 3!
Some folks may find the KeraCare cleansing cream and the Mixed Chicks Leave-in Conditioner to be sufficient as well. Two products instead of three . . .

Could this be used on someone with type 4a hair? Also would you do this regime every day to maintain your curls?
ReplyDeleteThe Mixed Chicks leave-in conditioner definitely can be used everyday with or without water! However, the "Quick Curls" may cause some build up challenges if used everyday. I am not sure if you worry about extreme shrinkage in a type 4a curl pattern. If so, then you need to use a gel product with more hold for your final finish. See my blog articles on KeraCare Defining Custard.
