How the Scales are Structured

example score
5/12
Type 1 Straight Affinity (T1SA)
This scale reflects how strongly your visible pattern observations align with Type 1 straight hair characteristics from root to ends.
Little straight affinity
Mixed straight signals
Strong straight affinity
04: Little straight affinity | 58: Mixed straight signals | 912: Strong straight affinity
A score of 5 suggests mixed straight signals, meaning some sections or conditions show Type 1 features alongside another pattern.
example score
4/12
Type 2 Wavy Affinity (T2WA)
Measures how strongly your observed natural pattern shows recurring Type 2 wavy S-shaped bends.
Little wavy affinity
Mixed wavy signals
Strong wavy affinity
04: Little wavy affinity | 58: Mixed wavy signals | 912: Strong wavy affinity
A score of 4 indicates little wavy affinity, meaning broad S-shaped bends are not a recurring part of your observed pattern.
example score
6/12
Type 3 Curly Affinity (T3CA)
This scale estimates how strongly your observed natural pattern aligns with Type 3 curly ringlets or spirals across your hair.
Little curly affinity
Mixed curly signals
Strong curly affinity
04: Little curly affinity | 58: Mixed curly signals | 912: Strong curly affinity
A score of 6 falls in the Mixed curly signals range, suggesting ringlets show up in some sections but may blend with waves or tighter coils elsewhere.
example score
2/12
Type 4 Coily Affinity (T4CA)
Measures how strongly your observed curl pattern aligns with Type 4 coily characteristics such as small, dense coils or angular bends.
Little coily affinity
Mixed coily signals
Strong coily affinity
04: Little coily affinity | 58: Mixed coily signals | 912: Strong coily affinity
A score of 2 suggests little coily affinity, meaning compact coils or angular turns are not recurring observations in your pattern.

WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Hair Type Quiz

Hair Type Quiz - Symptoms and Signs

identity

Discover whether your natural curl pattern has the strongest affinity with Type 1 Straight, Type 2 Wavy, Type 3 Curly, or Type 4 Coily hair. For clearer observations, consider clean, product-free hair air-dried without brushing, stretching, or heat styling. Your highest-scoring outcome is your strongest affinity; every outcome within one point of that highest score forms part of a blended result. Blended patterns are common across sections. This free quiz requires no sign-up and does not assess hair health, porosity, density, or care needs.
