Embrace Your Natural Hair with Olive Miracle
At African Pride, we always encourage people to embrace their natural hair. Thankfully, you don’t need to use chemicals, harsh products, or difficult methods in order to achieve lush, strong hair. Our Olive Miracle collection, combined with proper maintenance and hair care methods, will help ensure your coils look and feel their best. Part of caring for your unique hair type means knowing exactly what it needs, but more importantly, why.
Type 4C hair has the tightest coil pattern of all curly hair types, characterized by springy ringlets in a tight zig-zag pattern that tend to clump together at the ends. This hair type is the most fragile and usually very dry since moisture has a difficult time navigating down the hair shaft. The other key difference with Type 4C hair is shrinkage.
The Power of Olive Oil and Natural Ingredients

The benefits of using Olive Oil on natural hair are plentiful. In fact, humans have been producing and enjoying the benefits of Olive Oil since ancient times, so you know it’s good. Olive oil is rich in vital nutrients like vitamin A, vitamin E, and fatty acids, making it a super nourishing ingredient for dry or damaged strands. It’s also full of antioxidants and fats like oleic acid, which have been shown to slow the effects of hair loss. Similarly, a 2015 study done on mice showed significant hair growth when applied with Olive-tree ingredients.
The Importance of Proper Hair Care for Type 4C Hair
Growing natural hair encompasses so much more than just slathering on Black Castor Oil and hoping for the best. It requires regular cuts, proper wash day routines, and intense moisturization, for a start. It’s also important to remember that growing Type 4C hair is a process. It can take months (or even years) to get your hair to a place you want. You can’t expect an overnight miracle. Average natural hair grows at roughly ½ inch per month, however many factors can contribute to this like shrinkage, dryness, and even your genetics. Armed with patience, proper hair care methods, and nourishing ingredients, you’ll see your dream hair soon enough.
Washing natural hair properly is a big contributor to your overall scalp and hair health. Products with sulfates, alcohol, or other harsh chemicals can dry out hair and can end up damaging the delicate follicles of the scalp. Similarly, the order and methods you use to wash hair is vital to creating and maintaining healthy hair.
To avoid breakage and damage during wash day be sure to use a pre-shampoo which will help detangle hair prior to washing and use fingers to gently comb through curls. Our 5-step #CoilyGirlMethod wash day routine works for all types of curls and coils, but is particularly great for Type 4 hair. For Type 4C hair we recommend our Olive Miracle 2-in-1 Shampoo & Conditioner, a deeply moisturizing option that cleanses and hydrates strands.
There are many things you can do to combat breakage, like avoiding heat styling, sleeping on satin (or silk) and being as gentle on your coils as possible. Another great way to stimulate growth and avoid damage and breakage? This nourishing blend of Olive Oil, Tea Tree Oil, and Avocado Oil hydrates, softens and conditions natural hair while effectively treating the scalp. It helps protect hair against damage and breakage while combating dryness. The best part? You can use this on hair, edges, and your scalp.

A great way to stimulate hair growth is to give yourself a comforting scalp massage every 1-2 weeks. We recommend using our Moisture Miracle 5 Essential Oils blend as it can help reactivate hair follicles to support growth and prevent breakage. Simply applying the oil will protect and strengthen hair, but actually massaging it into your scalp will stimulate blood circulation and encourage growth.
Styling your hair without the use of weaves, wigs, chemical relaxers, or hot tools means there will be minimal damage to your natural hair. Protective hairstyles also tend to lock in moisture, length, and offer protection from the elements like sun, wind, and humidity.
One of the best benefits your hair will get from protective styling is increased moisture retention which can help lead to hair growth. Protective styles help keep your hair hydrated by tucking your ends away and help you hang onto growth as you’re not pulling/yanking on strands which causes shedding. It’s super easy to leave type 4C hair in braids, puffs, or twists for a few weeks, but we recommend only leaving styles in for 4-8 weeks and taking a few breaks in between styles in order to let your hair breathe.
If your hair is already growing, getting trims won’t stop the growth, it will just make sure that you’re growing out hair that won’t be so damaged you need to chop it all off down the road. Trimming ¼ or ½ of an inch every 6-10 weeks will keep your ends healthy but ask your usual hair stylist what they would recommend based on your actual hair. We also recommend trimming slightly more in the winter months because cold, dry air tends to increase splitting.
The African Pride Commitment

Olive Oil: A Miracle Ingredient from Your Kitchen
Sometimes miracle ingredients can be found in the most unusual of places, like your kitchen cabinet. Most people overlook the multi-faceted uses of common pantry staples like Cocoa, Avocado oil, or Coconut oil. At African Pride, we’ve looked to household staples like these as the building blocks for some of our most popular products and formulas.
Olive oil hair benefits run the gamut from replenishing moisture to preventing breakage. It’s also known for its smoothing properties and ability to seal in hydration. Of the many natural hair care oils or products sitting on shelves, Olive oil is possibly one of the best tools for a healthy scalp and happy hair.
The best Olive oil for your hair (and for cooking) is EVOO which is the purest, lightest type of oil. When it comes to natural hair care products or ingredients, your unique hair texture, pattern, and type will determine which formula is best for your hair. Do you need lots of moisture? Does your hair lack shine? Do you want to kickstart hair growth or prevent future hair damage and breakage? Typically, coily, type 4 girls will need more moisturize as coils tend to dry out much more than type 3 hair.
Whether your natural hair suffers from constant dryness, seasonal dryness, or damage, Olive oil is the perfect moisturizing agent. There are a wide variety of ingredients out there that claim to deeply moisturize natural hair, but many only sit on top of the hair whereas Olive oil actually penetrates the hair follicles. Penetrating oils are key as they help hair to maintain moisture by sealing it into the hair follicles.
Maximize Moisture and Growth with Olive Oil
To give your coils maximum moisture start your hair care routine with a moisturizing Shampoo & Conditioner like our Olive Miracle 2-in-1 formula. Packed with valuable vitamins and nutrients, Olive oil is full of antioxidants and fats like oleic acid, which have been shown to slow the effects of hair loss. Similarly, a 2015 study done on Mice showed significant hair growth when applied with Olive-tree ingredients.
Olive oil is also known to help strengthen hair follicles, increasing the lifespan of each hair. In order to enjoy the hair growth benefits of Olive oil, massage a lush oil blend, like our African Pride 5 Essential Oils, into your scalp and edges. The scalp is the key to healthy hair and should therefore, never be ignored.
Unfortunately, natural hair is already prone to increased brittleness and dryness since it’s more difficult for moisture to travel down coily and curly hair strands. A dry scalp on textured hair types tends to occur because the follicles are lacking moisture. The good news? Olive oil is filled with antibacterial properties that promote a moisturized and soothed scalp.
Repair and Strengthen with Olive Oil
When treating common hair issues like dryness or damage, it’s important to take a two-pronged approach. First, care for the scalp (as we discussed above) and second, help smooth hair from mid-shaft to ends. On dry or damp hair, work in our lightweight and fast-absorbing Olive Miracle Leave-In Conditioner to help strengthen strands from the inside out.
We believe in its ability to help moisturize dry hair, repair damage, soothe irritated scalps, and stimulate hair growth. No matter what type of natural hair you have there is an olive hair hair benefit for you. African Pride products are specifically formulated for every type of natural hair. Our ultimate goal is to keep your curls and coils hydrated so you can spend less time worrying about how your hair looks or feels and more time enjoying life.
