Understanding your curl type is one of the most empowering steps in building a routine that works. Whether you’re rocking loose spirals or tight coils, the key to healthy hair lies in using products designed for your texture. In this guide, we’ll break down curl types from 3A to 4C and recommend the best Lanin products to keep them moisturised, defined, and thriving.
Type 3 Hair: Curls (3A, 3B, 3C)
Type 3 hair features well-defined curls with varying tightness:
-
3A: Loose, large curls with lots of shine but prone to frizz
-
3B: Bouncier ringlets with a medium density
-
3C: Tight corkscrew curls with lots of volume and texture
What it needs: Moisture without heaviness. Lightweight hydration, frizz control, and curl definition are key.

-
Hydration Mist: Daily refresh without buildup
-
Leave-In Conditioner: Lightweight but deeply hydrating
-

Type 4 Hair: Coils & Kinks (4A, 4B, 4C)
Type 4 hair is densely packed, delicate, and full of texture:
-
4A: Soft coils with defined S-shaped curls
-
4B: Z-shaped strands that bend more than curl
-
4C: Tightest curl pattern with little to no definition
What it needs: Intense hydration, moisture retention, and gentle styling. This hair type is fragile and benefits from rich, nourishing products.
