4A hair is the first pattern of type 4 curly hair, Because of the similarity in texture and curl pattern, it can be difficult to differentiate between 4A and C horseshoe curl patterns. But short story long: 4A (aka type 4 A) is a microfiber or ‘mini-curl' pattern that has a kinked coil at one extreme edge of the curl. It also tends to have tighter curls toward the root compared to B or C halo curls. And once you have a proper diagnosis, your stylist will then know long they should leave it on your hair while styling it.
4A hair is the first of the type 4 curl patterns, and it may be one of the most challenging to diagnose.
While 4C and 4D are rooted in the same type of curl pattern, they are completely different. The main difference between them is that in 4C curls, your hair grows straight in the back with tight spirals on top, while 4D curls have tight spirals on top and wavy or curly hair on the bottom (the side closest to your face). In other words, 4A looks like what a 3B would look like if it were grown out instead of cut short.
4A is also known as “reverse 3B.” In this category, your spiral curls grow from root to tip rather than from tip to root. This means that they are tighter than normal three-bun curls and can be very difficult to manage with heat tools because they don't have as much movement as traditional 3B curls do.
4A hair is the first of the type 4 curl patterns, and it may be one of the most challenging to diagnose. It is often mistaken for type 4B hair — a pattern that has an even curl pattern with a large diameter at the tip.
The main difference between 4A and 4B is that while 4B has a tighter curl pattern, 4A has a looser curl pattern. The type 3A and 3B patterns are also similar in appearance but differ in terms of overall size of the curl pattern.
