Kinky (Type 4″> Styles

Corinne Bailey Rae

If types 2 and 3 had any trouble finding great hairstyles, we know those of you with type 4 hair probably have the hardest time finding something that works. Type 4s are the ones usually quick to hit the relaxers, but you don’t have to do that to enjoy your hair!

Corinne Bailey Rae is one celeb who gives us major inspiration for type 4. Her hair is actually a mixture of 3C and 4 (note the tiny, kinky roots followed by a distinct s-curl”>, but she definitely shows us how to do it. As she says herself, just go ahead let your hair down, even with somewhat kinky hair, whether it’s long or short.

To get her look, try bantu knot outs — she is KNOWN for them!

If you’d prefer to wear your hair up, try brushing it up into a high ponytail/poof. Although most other hair types look casual and sporty with a high ponytail, type 4s can make it look professional (since it almost looks like a bun”> or fun!
