Type 4A is very tight and has small curls, very wiry and fragile. When you stretch them, they get super long and have medium-sized, loosely packed curls. The curls have a springy S-shape and are about the size of a crochet needle.
If you look closely at the 4a hair type, you’ll notice the curls are not as interlocked as 4b or 4c curls. Each 4a strand independently curls or spirals away from other neighboring 4a hair has naturally well-defined curls and is easier to style and handle than 4b and 4c hair. It also has a reduced risk of natural breakage because of its loose curls.
What does 4a hair look like?
Although we already know the definition of 4a hair, distinguishing type 4a hair is still not a simple task - even for professionals! Type 4a hair can easily be mistaken for type 3c or 4b, and if you're not sure what type of hair you have, you can determine your curl type when you've just washed your hair and come out of the shower.
Type 4a hair tends to have a distinct "S" shape that creates miniature coils. This type of hair is known as dense, bouncy coils. Again, your hair may be fine or thick. When it's voluminous, you'll lose definition. However, when your hair is wet, you will be able to clearly see the definite curl pattern.
Also, note that it's not uncommon for you to have more than one hair type on your head. (For example, you may find that most of your hair is type 4a, but the hair on the back part of your neck is type 4b - which would be a tighter curl).
