You’ve layered leave-ins, sealed with oils, tried the TikTok tricks… and your coils still feel dry.
You spend hours on wash day, only to fight frizz again the next morning.
Your twist-outs look perfect on Day 1 but breakage and shrinkage kill the vibe by Day 3.
And don’t even get us started on detangling…
At Miche, we formulate with the richness and resilience of coily textures in mind, using ingredients that actually work for your pattern.
"My coils have never felt this soft and defined! Miche Beauty completely transformed my wash days—no more dryness or frizz, just bouncy, hydrated curls that last all week."
— Jasmine R., Type 4C Naturalista
what is type 4 hair?
Type 4 hair is tightly coiled, deeply textured, and full of natural volume. It can be soft and springy or tight and zig-zagged, often all on the same head.
It comes in 3 subtypes:
4A: Tight coils with
a defined "S" pattern.
4B: Tighter, "Z"-shaped coils with less defined patterns.
4C: Extremely tight, dense coils, often with a more zigzag-like or almost indiscernible pattern.
Coily hair is naturally dry because it’s harder for oils to travel down the strand. That’s why moisture retention (not just hydration) is everything.
how to care for coily hair
With the right steps (and the right formulas), you can build a routine that works with your texture, not against it.
Here’s your go-to 4-step system for healthy, hydrated coils:
Step 1
cleanse gently
Start with a shampoo that removes product and oil buildup without stripping your strands. A clean scalp is the foundation for healthy hair, but it shouldn’t leave your coils squeaky or dry.
Step 2
deep condition weekly
Coily hair needs deep, lasting hydration. Look for a rich, creamy conditioner that softens strands, improves manageability, and restores elasticity (especially after protective styles or high-manipulation weeks).
Step 3
lock in moisture
After washing, layer in a hydrating leave-in or moisturizing cream while your hair is still damp. This step helps seal in water and keep your curls juicy and touchably soft between wash days.
Step 4
define & protect
Styling is all about balance. You want hold without crunch, and definition without flakes. Reach for a curl-defining product that enhances your natural pattern, minimizes shrinkage, and shields against humidity.
Bonus Tip: Protect your hair at night with a satin scarf or bonnet to retain moisture and prevent tangles.
Everything your coils need, all in one routine. From cleansing to styling, discover the perfect Miche Beauty products to keep your Type 4 hair moisturized, defined, and beautifully healthy every day.

Why does coily hair tend to be dry?
Because of its curl pattern, it’s harder for natural oils from your scalp to travel down each strand. This makes coily hair naturally more prone to dryness. That’s why moisture retention—using rich conditioners, leave-ins, and sealants—is key to maintaining softness and shine.
