how it works

three steps, then Shea builds your plan.

  1. 1

    tell Shea your hair

    curl pattern, porosity, length. a few taps, no homework.

  2. 2

    get your plan

    a wash rhythm and daily care built for your curl pattern, not for straight hair.

  3. 3

    log it and watch

    tap what you did. photos and length show the inches you kept.

what's inside

everything for type 4 and type 3 hair, in one app.

not "all hair types". built for coily, kinky and curly hair, 4C to 3A, from the start.

the Circle

real girlies, real answers, no gatekeeping.

wash day

a rhythm that fits your hair, with reminders.

growth tracking

log your length and see the inches you kept.

progress photos

then and now, so shrinkage stops lying to you.

ingredient scanner

scan any product, get a fit score for your hair.

your shelf

rate what worked on your hair. stop rebuying misses.

daily care

tap what you did. habits logged in seconds.

saved routines

your wash day steps, saved and ready to repeat.

Shea is free to use. some things have limits on the free plan, and premium lifts them and adds a few extras.

ask Shea

questions about your hair, answered from what you logged.

home screen widget

log today's care without opening the app.

dark mode

easy on your eyes at 2am.

reminders

a nudge before wash day, never a nag.

made by Black women, for type 4 and type 3 hair.

we went looking for an app built for our hair. it did not exist, so we built it.

the Shea teamBlack women, curls and coils, same as you

4C, 4B, 4A, 3C, 3B, 3A. all of it.

built for type 4 and type 3 from root to ends, never adapted from straight hair.
