HairAI Studio.
The hair has very tight, small, densely packed coils with a fine zig-zag 4C texture, showing natural shrinkage while still reading as long hair when stretched. Shape the hair into a full shoulder-to-chest-length coily silhouette with soft volume around the head and shoulders. Emphasize moisturized definition, natural density, and realistic kinky-coily texture. Do not make the curls loose ringlets, 3A waves, beach waves, straightened hair, braids, twists, or locs.

Long 4C coils are the natural coily hair (Type 4C — the tightest natural curl pattern) worn at length. The defining technical detail is that 'long' refers to stretched length, not shrunken — Type 4C hair can shrink up to 75% from its actual length, so 'long' to the wearer means the stretched-out length they see in protective styles, not the shrunken visual length when worn natural and dry.
It flatters oval and heart faces — the volume of natural 4C coils balances oval faces and softens heart shapes. Type 4C hair is the styling's home; the cut and care techniques are specific to this curl pattern and require texture-trained stylists.
Medium maintenance — wash with sulfate-free shampoo, deep condition weekly, leave-in for daily wear. Trim only every 12 weeks (Type 4C retains length when not over-trimmed). The conversation about Type 4C-specific care entered Western salon mainstream around 2015-2020 with the natural-hair movement. Ask for a stretched-hair length check, not shrunken — trims should remove only true split ends. Notable wearers include Lupita Nyong'o, who has spoken extensively about Type 4C hair care.
