What is your hair's natural pattern?This is consider the natural pattern of your hair strands. Hair takes on a different shape when it's wet or dry. The hair's natural patten is chemical free ( no perm or relaxer), heat free (hasn't been blow dried or flat ironed), and dry. It is possible to have different patterns through your scalp. Always go with the pattern that is the majority. NOTE: The pattern of wavy, curly, and extremely curly/coily can vary.
Straight
Wavy
Curly
Extremely Curly/Coily
5
Which option best describes the length of the hair on your head?Determining hair length can be a challenge. To help with the process, we use everyday items for compassion. Start measurement from the base of the scalp, where the hair extends out. Use these items as reference points for measurement.
None(Bald, like a melon)
an 1'' or less (length of a quarter of less)
2 to 4'' ( no longer than the width of a bank card
5 to 10''( 5 is a little less than the length of a soda can) 10 would be a little more than 2 cans
11'' or more (a roll of paper towels is 11'' wide)
6
What is your hair density?Density is the amount of hair you have on your scalp. Example, if I were to say, how dense are the trees in the backyard? It's either thick, thin, of neither(average). To give you a visual, we use trees as a reference. Like the trees, if you can see clear through the hair to the scalp, you have very thin density. Using the pictures, find which photo best resembles your hair density.
Very thin
Somewhat thin
Neither thin or thick
Somewhat thick
Very thick
7
What is your hair texture* This field is required.Hair texture is the diameter, length, of the individual hair strand from one side of the strand to the other. It's hard to gauge by looking with the naked eye. Grab a strand or two between the thumb and pointer fingers. Fine hair strands will feel similar to paper. Course(thick) hair strands will feel thicker than thread. If the feel of the strands is neither thick or fine, you have medium textured strands. This is a fun step to do with family or friends for comparison.
Fine
Medium
Course(thick)
8
Is your scalp:* This field is required.At any given time, the condition of the scalp will fall under one of the following. Please chose the option that best fits the current state of your scalp. Note, oily scalp is based on the excess of natural oil production and not from product accumulation.
Oily
Dry
Neither Dry or Oily
9
What is your hair porosity?Porosity is the ability of the hair to absorb and retain moisture. Each hair strand has 2 or 3 layers, cuticle, cortex, and medulla. The top layer, the cuticle, protects all the other layers and the condition of this layer determines porosity. The top layer is similar to the shingles on a roof. If the hair strands feels rough, you have high porosity. For an easier, quick test of the strands, brush or comb hair, drop the strands that have shed into cup of water. Similar to the picture below of the eggs in a cup, if your strands float to the bottom, you have high porosity hair. If your strand stays floating at the top, you have low porosity. For average porosity, strands will remain in the middle of the cup. If you need a more depth breakdown, watch this video. https://youtu.be/pDrCZX5PTHM?si=JSC8QxsFRohPUJO_
