At Peretz Hair & Beauty, healthy, beautiful hair starts with understanding your hair type. Whether your hair is Afro-Caribbean, mixed-race, or Caucasian, choosing the right products and care routine is key to keeping your hair strong, moisturized, and looking its best.

1. Afro-Caribbean Hair (4A, 4B, 4C)

Afro-Caribbean hair is naturally curly, coily, and delicate. It requires moisture and gentle handling to prevent breakage and dryness.

Hair Types:

  • 4A: Soft, tightly coiled S-shaped curls

  • 4B: Z-shaped coils, less defined, more shrinkage

  • 4C: Very tight coils, fragile, minimal curl definition

Tips:

  • Use sulfate-free shampoos to avoid stripping natural oils

  • Moisturize regularly with creams or oils

  • Protective styles like braids or twists reduce damage

Peretz Picks:

  • Moisturizing Shampoo

  • Leave-In Cream

  • Growth Serum

Routine:

  1. Wash once a week with gentle shampoo

  2. Apply conditioner and leave-in cream

  3. Seal moisture with a nourishing oil

2. Mixed-Race Hair (Wavy, Curly, Coily)

Mixed-race hair can range from loose waves to tight curls. It’s versatile but needs a balance of moisture and curl definition.

Hair Types:

  • Wavy Hair: 2A (fine waves), 2B (medium waves), 2C (thick, frizzy waves)

  • Curly Hair: 3A (loose curls), 3B (medium curls), 3C (tight corkscrew curls)

  • Coily Hair: 4A (softer coils than typical Afro hair)

Tips:

  • Define curls with curl creams or gels

  • Avoid overwashing—2–3 times per week is ideal

  • Use a wide-tooth comb or fingers to detangle

Peretz Picks:

  • Curl Defining Cream

  • Hydrating Conditioner

  • Lightweight Oil

Routine:

  1. Shampoo gently 2–3 times per week

  2. Apply hydrating conditioner

  3. Style with curl cream or gel while damp

  4. Add lightweight oil to lock in moisture

3. Caucasian Hair (Straight, Wavy, Fine, Thick)

Caucasian hair ranges from fine and straight to thick and wavy. It requires products that maintain volume, shine, and smoothness.

Hair Types:

  • Straight Hair: 1A (very straight, fine), 1B (straight with body), 1C (straight, thick, coarse)

  • Wavy Hair: 2A (slight wave), 2B (medium wave), 2C (thick wave)

Tips:

  • Fine hair: Use volumizing products, avoid heavy oils

  • Thick/wavy hair: Hydrating shampoos and conditioners prevent frizz

  • Protect hair from heat styling with sprays or serums

Peretz Picks:

  • Volumizing Shampoo

  • Smoothing Conditioner

  • Hair Mask

Routine:

  1. Wash 2–4 times per week depending on oiliness

  2. Condition mid-length to ends

  3. Apply a mask weekly for extra nourishment

  4. Style and protect with serum or heat protectant

4. General Tips for All Hair Types

  • Drink plenty of water and eat a balanced diet for healthy hair

  • Sleep on satin pillowcases to reduce friction and breakage

  • Regular trims prevent split ends and maintain hair health
