What is a hair "type" anyway?

Very simply, 'hair type' refers to the shape or pattern of the hair strand. The hair typing system we are referring to is based on The Hair Chart created by Andre Walker. In the Hair Chart system, there are 4 universal hair types or hair pattern/shapes: Type 1 Straight, Type 2 Wavy, Type 3 Curly, Type 4 Zig Zag or Coily. Type refers to hair pattern and hair pattern alone. Not texture or density.

Does the Four Naturals Treatment work for other hair types?

Yes! The Four Naturals Henna Mud Masque is designed to work across all hair types — from Type 4 coils to Type 1 straight hair.

Henna has been used for centuries in Ayurvedic hair care to strengthen strands, add shine, and improve overall hair health. It smooths the cuticle by binding to the hair shaft, creating a protective layer that makes strands look and feel thicker, shinier, and more defined — no matter your curl pattern.

For those with color-treated or chemically lightened hair, or for anyone who prefers a non-tinting option, our Cassia & Rosemary Conditioner is an excellent alternative. Powered by cassia obovata, slippery elm, and rosemary oil, it delivers moisture, softness, and strength — often after just one use.

Whether you're rocking curls, waves, or straight strands, the Four Naturals system helps your hair look its best — naturally.

How long should I wait to dye my hair after using the Henna Mud Masque?

We suggest two washes between chemical color and the Four Naturals Henna Treatment. Feel free to use the Cassia and Rosemary Conditioner when ever you like!

Should I use this every wash day?

Use it whenever your hair needs recovery! Most customers treat monthly for maintenance, or every 3 months for major repair or after heat styling. The benefits build with each treatment.

Some customers treat weekly for a period of time to balance porosity faster or to enhance the curl pattern and softness they saw after their first treatment. If you want to explore this more advanced routine, check out our blog post with real results.

How does this treatment fix dryness, breakage, and slow growth?

The active plant ingredients (Henna, Cassia Obovata, Slippery Elm and Rosemary Oil) bond to your hair shaft, balancing porosity and sealing the cuticle. This locks in moisture, strengthens weak strands, and helps you retain length — no more breakage cycle.

Will it help with heat damage or relaxed hair?

Yes! The treatment strengthens chemically processed and heat-styled hair. Many customers use it before or after a silk press, or to maintain healthy relaxed hair between salon visits.

Do the results wash out? Will my curls stay defined?

The results don’t wash out — because it’s not a styling product, it’s a treatment. The Four Naturals Treatment reveals your true curl pattern by restoring the health of your hair. Many people discover that what they assumed was tightly coiled, Type 4 hair is actually a looser curl pattern — even Type 3 or Type 2 — that had been masked by damage, dryness, and imbalance.

And if defined curls aren’t your go-to look? That’s fine too. This treatment makes every style easier — from twist-outs to silk presses — by giving you smoother, stronger, more obedient hair.

Will it change my hair color?

The Four Naturals Treatment isn’t a dye — but it may slightly deepen your hair’s tone, especially if your hair is lighter than medium brown or bleached. Thanks to the humectants in the formula, most users don’t experience a noticeable color change — just richer, more vibrant hair. If you want zero color shift, our Cassia Deep Conditioner delivers incredible strengthening and smoothing benefits with no dye effect.
