coily · 4C
Type 4C
Very tight, subtle coil pattern
Has very tight bends or coils whose repeated pattern may be subtle without close inspection.
Pattern is one part of the picture. You may have more than one pattern on the same head. Thickness, density, porosity, and care history can change how any type looks and behaves.
What to notice
- Very tight bends
- Pattern can look less defined
- Compact coil or zig-zag path
A useful comparison
The least visibly uniform coily pattern in this chart; 4A and 4B show clearer loop or angle repetition.
