Type 4 hair

This type hair is the more fragile of all hair type . This type include pen-sping level  hair that actually coils into a spiral like those small springs, and tight zig-zag and S-curled hair. Not only is African hair wiry, it is also frequently coarse. according to Anne Tecklenburg Strehlow, "African hair actually produces more oils than Caucasian and Asian hair. However, due to the tight curls, the oil fails to spread evenly along the hair fiber." This result in brittleness of African hair, then  adds to the illusion that it cannot be grown long. This type hair need to be moisture more frequently to grow long unlike straight hair which is low maintenance .
