The hair quiz
Know more than your curl pattern.
Your pattern tells part of the story. Porosity, strand thickness, density, scalp comfort, treatment history, and your goals shape what your hair needs next. Answer 15 core questions plus 1–2 styling questions for a practical profile. Your styling path changes based on the pattern you select.
What the quiz covers
- Hair pattern, including mixed patterns
- Pattern-specific styles and protective styling
- Primary and secondary goals
- Three porosity observations
- Density and strand thickness
- Scalp oil, comfort, and sensitivity

This quiz uses everyday observations, including how water behaves in the shower. It does not use the unreliable cup or float test.
