So let’s dive in deep and dispel all the mystery surrounding how to select the best products for your hair type because life without great hair just really isn’t an option!

If your hair is straight and fine

Your hair is quite frankly a bit blah and needs pumping up with some volume but without excess weight. Might sound like you’re trying to trick the laws of gravity and physics, but it can be done. What you need to be using is a volumizing shampoo and conditioner to deeply nourish while renewing life into your limp strands. Follow up with a heat protecting spray and a generous dollop of mousse so that you can you’re your style plenty of body and control.

We recommend:
Number 4 Volumizing Shampoo Mini
Number 4 Styling Foam Mini
Number 4 Thermal Styling Spray Mini

Try to avoid:
Oils and silicone based serums. These will just weigh down fine hair and make it even more lifeless.

If your hair is thick and straight

So in some respects, you hit the jackpot. You at least have the texture and control to pull off most styles, but you’re going to need time and patience to style all that abundance of hair. Heat is your enemy, as is dehydration so above all else you need to be focused on maintaining moisture and shine. Silky finishing oils, shine enhancing sprays and smoothing creams can all help minimize any unwanted bulkiness.

We recommend:
Number 4 Hydrating Condition Mini
Number 4 Support Solution Mini
Number 4 Mini Hair Repair Kit

Try to avoid:
Volumizers. Your hair can hold its own against most styling products you throw its way, but the one thing you don’t need is more va-va-voom.

If your hair is kinky and coiled

For your hair type, your solution really does start in the shower. It’s all about intense, deep conditioning to keep those luscious coiled curls shiny and smooth. A weekly deep conditioning mask is a must-have. You are better opting for more creamy textured products rather than sprays to twist and perfect those kinky curls.

We recommend:
Number 4 Reconstructing Masque Mini
Number 4 Support Solution Mini
Number 4 Texture Styling Creme Mini

Try to avoid:
Moisture sapping strong hold gels or products that are alcohol based.

If your hair is curly or wavy

It’s all about fighting the frizz and using lightly textured products that are packed with natural ingredients rather than silicones. Sulfate free is the way to go. You want to soothe and smooth, not smother those lovely waves and curls. Your hair might require a bit of gentle coaching to achieve its full glory, so something like a texturizing spray will be your best option. Finish off with a little bit of a smoothing cream to tease and tame any scraggly ends.

We recommend:
Number 4 Super Comb Prep & Protect Mini
Number 4 Sugar Texturizing Spray Mini
Number 4 Smoothing Balm Mini

Try to avoid:
Pomades and Gels. Their texture is just too sticky and heavy for your hair type.
