I haven't read the book, but I thought 4a/4b (although mixed people can have this hair type, but for the sake of my point people always assume mixed people only have 3b/3c hair) was the most fragile type of hair. Because curly hair is fragile, so it would make sense why its the most fragile, since its the curliest.
