Type 4 Hair Common Mistakes and 5 Ways to Fix Them

Washing your hair is one of the most important things you can do for your hair. When you wash your hair, you’re removing natural oils, proteins and lipids that protect and nourish your hair to keep it looking healthy. While washing is great for making sure your locks are free of dirt, product build-up and residue left behind from styling tools and products, there are certain things you should avoid doing in the shower. How many of these common mistakes have you actually made?

 

When you’re washing your type 4 hair, it’s easy to make mistakes. If you’ve been forming the habit of washing your natural hair with harsh, chemical-laden shampoos, it’s time to change things up. How to wash your natural hair in the right way will help your scalp stay healthy and protect it . You might also be doing something wrong, but if you’re not sure what it is, here are some common mistakes that people make when they wash their hair and how to fix them:

1. Not using the right shampoo or conditioner.

Check the label on your shampoo to see if it has any sulfates in it. Sulfates strip your hair of its natural oils, which means less lather and more frizz. If you use a shampoo with sulfates, try switching to one without them like OLEENA ORGANICS HERBAL BLEND SHAMPOO or switching to one that has coconut oil or olive oil in it—these ingredients help maintain moisture in your hair and don’t strip away all its natural oils. Conditioner is essential for type 4 hair because it helps to moisturize and condition the hair.

Conditioner is an essential part of your hair care routine, especially if you have Type 4 hair. Be sure to condition your hair with the right product after every shampooing to help detangle and moisturize your hair.

2. Not rinsing thoroughly after applying shampoo, conditioner or other styling products (like gel or mousse). 

When you rinse your type 4 hair after washing it with a sulfate-free shampoo, make sure you get all the soap out before rinsing again! Otherwise, your scalp may feel dry—and if this happens more often than once every few weeks throughout the entire year? It might be time for a new shampoo!

Also not rinsing out conditioners or other styling products thoroughly from your type 4 hair can leave residue behind on the hair and scalp. Shampoo that is not rinsed properly will leave a residue that will dry out the hair.

3. You’re using the wrong products 

One of the most common mistakes people make is using the wrong products for their type 4 hair. If you’re using a shampoo meant for type 3 hair, it’s likely that your type 4 hair is not getting the cleanse it needs. This can lead to buildup, which can then lead to dryness and breakage.

The same goes for conditioners and leave-in conditioners. Be sure to use products that are specifically meant for type 4 hair, as they will be formulated to provide the necessary hydration and nutrients.

If your type 4 hair is dry and brittle, chances are you’re using products that are too harsh. Look for products that are sulfate-free and contain natural oils and butters to help replenish your hair’s moisture. Type 4 hair needs heavy-duty products that will moisturize and condition the hair. Shampoo that is designed for straight hair will dry out type 4 hair, so it is important to use a shampoo that is made for textured hair.

4. You’re not prepping your hair properly 

Before shampooing, it’s important to detangle your hair to avoid breakage. Use a wide-toothed comb or your fingers to gently work through any knots.

5. You’re shampooing too often

Shampooing strips the hair of its natural oils, which can lead to dryness and breakage. If your hair is on the drier side, try shampooing every other week or every third week.

Yes, it’s important to cleanse your hair on washday, but that doesn’t mean you need to wash it multiple times. Over-washing can strip your hair of its natural oils, leaving it feeling dry and brittle. Stick to one wash, and if your hair still feels dirty, try using a clarifying shampoo.

If you find that your hair is feeling dry and tangled after washing it, it’s likely because you’re using too much shampoo. When you use too much shampoo, it can strip your hair of its natural oils, leaving it feeling dry and brittle. Instead, try using a small amount of shampoo and focus on massaging it into your scalp rather than your hair.

6. Not using a deep conditioner.

Deep conditioning is essential for type 4 hair because it helps to penetrate the hair shaft and moisturize the hair. They help to improve the elasticity of the hair and they are designed to deeply moisturize and nourish the hair. We recommend OLEENA ORGANICS ALOE RICE DEEP CONDITIONER

7. Not using a clarifying shampoo regularly

A clarifying shampoo is a type of shampoo that is designed to remove built-up residues fom the scalp and hair. If you are not using a clarifying shampoo regularly, residues from hair products, dirt, and sweat can accumulate on the scalp and hair, which can lead to problems such as dryness, scalp irritation, and hair loss. A clarifying shampoo should be used at least once a week to remove these build-ups.

8. You’re not using enough product 

Another common mistake is not using enough product. When it comes to type 4 hair, a little goes a long way. Be sure to use enough shampoo, conditioner, and leave-in

9. You’re not using a pre-poo treatment.

If you find that your hair is feeling dry and stripped after washing it, it’s likely because you’re not using a pre-poo treatment. A pre-poo treatment is a treatment that you apply to your hair before shampooing. It helps to protect your hair from the harsh cleansing action of shampoo and leaves your hair feeling softer and more moisturized. If you skipped the prepoo, go back and do it! A prepoo treatment is important because it helps to loosen up the dirt and debris in your hair, making it easier to detangle and cleanse.

10. You didn’t section your hair.

If you didn’t section your hair, it’s time to do it! Sectioning your hair will help to prevent tangles and knots, and will also make it easier to evenly distribute shampoo and

11. Not using a detangler.

Detangling hair is essential to preventing breakage. A good detangler for type 4 hair should be moisturizing, and it should contain proteins and shea butter. When you don’t take the time to detangle your hair before shampooing, you’re in for a world of hurt. Wet, unbrushed hair is more susceptible to breakage, so be sure to use a wide-toothed comb or paddle brush to gently detangle your locks before washing with a good detangler with slippage.

If you’re guilty of any of the above, don’t worry – there’s still time to save your Washday routine! Read on to learn how to identify and correct these common mistakes.
