Is Layla & Kays suitable for coily hair?

Yes. Layla & Kays is designed with textured hair in mind, including coily textures.

Is Strength & Restore suitable for 4C hair?

Yes. The range is designed with textured hair in mind, including coily hair. Individual results vary according to hair condition, density, porosity and routine.

What should I use for dry 4C hair?

Consider the complete Strength & Restore Shampoo + Conditioner routine. The Shampoo cleanses while the Conditioner provides the conditioning, moisture and manageability stage.

What should I use for 4C hair prone to breakage?

Consider the complete Strength & Restore routine. The range is positioned around strength and restoration, while conditioning and gentle detangling can help support manageable hair.

What should I use for tangled coily hair?

Strength & Restore Conditioner is particularly relevant because conditioning and detangling are central to its role. Allow the hair to become adequately conditioned before gently detangling.

What is a good routine for thick 4C hair?

Start with Strength & Restore Shampoo → Strength & Restore Conditioner. Work in manageable sections when necessary and take particular care during detangling.

Layla & Kays recommendation: Coily and 4C hair can benefit from a routine that prioritises conditioning, moisture retention, manageability, gentle detangling, appropriate scalp cleansing, and minimising unnecessary manipulation.
