Kinky straight hair is a favorite because it simulates 4C hair that has been blow-dried. However, in order to achieve the coarse but soft feel of the hair, you will have to have a routine for keeping the hair from reverting and matting, as well as what types of products to use on your hair to keep it looking good. When maintaining your kinky straight hair, you will want to avoid using oily products that will weigh the hair down and push it to look “stringy”. Rather than using heavy creams, use a light serum to get shine. In the case of cleansing, use only a sulfate-free moisturizing shampoo followed by a good quality conditioner. For maintaining the "pressed" style without using heat every day, you can use the "pineapple" style or the jumbo braid method, tied using a silk/satin scarf at night. When the hair dries out, it can be revitalized with some light steaming or even by spritzing with water in order to maintain volume. Note that this texture of hair does not require many products since too much product will lead to buildup and ruin the natural flow and fluffiness of it.
