The Ultimate Guide to Spring Haircare for Type 4 Curls

Spring is Here—Is Your Natural Hair Ready?

As the seasons change, so do the needs of our curls and coils. Spring brings more humidity, unpredictable weather, and the urge to refresh our look. If you’ve been protective styling all winter or struggling with dryness, now is the time to switch up your hair routine.

1. Hydration is Key

Winter dryness can leave our curls and coils thirsty. Start by deep conditioning weekly to restore moisture. Look for products with humectants like aloe vera or honey to help your curls thrive.

2. Lighten Up Your Products

Heavier creams and butters might have been your winter best friend, but spring calls for lighter products. Try switching to a hydrating leave-in conditioner paired with a lightweight curl-defining gel for bouncy, defined curls.

3. Protect Against Spring Showers

Rain and humidity can lead to frizz, so be sure to seal in moisture with a light oil. If you’re rocking a twist-out or wash-and-go, consider a humidity-blocking styling product to keep your curls intact.

4. Refresh Your Look

Spring is the perfect time to try a new hairstyle! Whether it’s a fresh trim, bold color, or a new protective style like mini twists or knotless braids, step into the season with confidence.

Final Thoughts

With a few tweaks to your routine, your type 4 curls will flourish this spring. I’ll be trying more wash and go’s this spring and summer, can’t wait!
