How to Restore Your Natural Curl Pattern – Curl Guide

,Team Four Naturals

Everyone gets a Four Naturals Treatment to heal many different things. One issue the Four Naturals Treatment heals is Heat Damage. What is Thermal or Heat Damage? At a molecular level, exposure to high heat changes the shape of the hair’s keratin strands. Temperatures over 300°F convert the ⍺-keratin to β-keratin, eventually leading to weaker hair that has lost its elasticity, reduces its width, and becomes more prone to damage. When the keratin is melted, your hair maintains that shape on a molecular level, and it's not reversible.

What does this mean for your hair? Limp, thin strands that lack any of the “shrinkage” from the past. In some parts, the hair becomes utterly straight, especially at the ends, where the protein bonds are weakest.

TIME & HENNA HEALS

WITH MULTIPLE TREATMENTS, HAIR IS PROGRESSIVELY BETTER

We define multiple Four Naturals Henna Mud Masque treatments as two or more.

And there are serious benefits to having multiple treatments in your hair: Curl restoration. If you’ve experienced damage to your hair due to heat, the multiple layers of henna in your hair can help you restore up to 80% of your curl back!

HENNA COATS YOUR STRANDS

Strengthens the strands
Revives up to 80% elasticity
Does not restore damage from chemicals

If you want to see maximum curl on damaged hair, the Four Naturals treatment can help!

TIME IS YOUR FRIEND

Several layers of henna in your hair mean that time is on your side! Between treatment days, whenever you wet your hair or use a curl cream, you encourage and train your strands to bend and coil. We know that a good curl is only a proper training away! Follow this guide to learn more…

DO TRAIN YOUR CURLS!

The ability to treat heat and product damage is one of the prime benefits of doing multiple treatments.

Scrunch them, and refresh them with moisture daily. This is making the henna on your hair “activate.” Remember, henna is a plant! So water and moisture is your friend!

DO DEEP CONDITION WEEKLY!

Residue happens! Because you are adding curl creams and products more regularly, either every day or every other day, product build-up is inevitable. This means you need to clarify or shampoo your hair weekly. Always deep condition your hair after these washes. Your Deep Conditioners will add a real boost to the henna in your hair and get more curl forming.

DO ENJOY THE BENEFITS OF PROGRESSIVE TREATMENTS!

Four Naturals was designed to make your life easier. That means every aspect of it is a benefit to you. The benefit of multiple treatments on your hair is that if you do something that damages it, it doesn’t automatically mean a “big chop” and” start all over” kind of disaster! By adjusting your hair care and styling routine, the henna in your hair will work for you and restore your curl in no time!
