4C Coily Center-Part Afro
4C Coily Center-Part Afro. Medium afro with a center part, soft rounded sides. Natural type 4C hair: very tight zigzag coils with little visible curl definition, much tighter than a perm curl, dense cloud-like volume, around 70-75 percent shrinkage, soft matte sheen. Client is of mixed heritage (for example Black and East Asian) with naturally textured hair (not a perm or relaxer).
What makes this look work
The shape comes mostly from:
- a clean centre part
- movement from the tight curl
Before you choose it
- Upkeep · Medium upkeep
- Expect a few minutes of styling most days to keep the shape reading the way it does here.
How any reference lands depends on your texture, density and daily routine — that conversation is what your stylist is for.
