Ayaba — Afro Kinky, 4B

Ayaba means queen. Not a metaphor, not a borrowed grandeur: the actual word for the woman who wears the crown. In a set named for the regalia of a Yoruba court, this is the one name that names the person at the center of it.

It went to the fullest, boldest silhouette in the range because that texture does not ask for attention, it commands it. A full-bodied 4B afro with a defined z-pattern kink, standing up and filling out rather than falling in a curl. Presence is the word, and presence is what a queen has.

Coil size 3mm · Pattern Z · Matches 4B · 100% Remy, cuticle-aligned.

The z-bend is where the volume comes from: it gives the hair a cotton-soft body and a true afro shape, dense fullness in every weft. This is texture at full volume, which is the point of it, not a problem to be flattened.

It is matched to 4B hair that wants its afro celebrated, worn out and full. In pattern the hair sits about 3 to 4 inches shorter than measured, so order up if length is the goal. Fullness per set is high, so most installs use 2 sets, 3 for a longer or fuller look.

Keep it heat-free, fluff and pick to shape, satin at night, and it holds for years. Ayaba and the coil beside her sit close on the spectrum; the quiz tells them apart. And the Match Promise backs it: if the texture doesn't blend, exchange it within 30 days.
