When your hair dries with little product, what shape do you see most?
Look at mid-lengths to ends on a typical wash day.
How to use your quiz result
A letter-number label helps you shop and communicate. It does not replace porosity, density, or climate. Compare your estimate with the curl type chart, or walk through finding your curl type at home.
How Curltine helps after the quiz
- Open Curltine and take a clear photo of clean, product-light hair.
- Review pattern, porosity, and density signals in your profile.
- Follow the suggested wash-day plan and refresh tips.
- Scan products when a label looks confusing so weight and ingredients match your profile.

Frequently asked questions
How accurate is a curl type quiz?
A quiz is a guided estimate from your answers. Lighting, product, stretch, and mixed patterns can change how hair looks. Use the result as a starting point, then confirm with dry baseline photos or a Curltine scan.
Can I have more than one curl type?
Yes. Many people have looser patterns at the crown and tighter patterns at the nape. Treat your dominant pattern as the default, then adjust by zone.
Should I take the quiz on wet or dry hair?
Answer based on how your hair looks when it is clean, product-light, and dry. Wet hair stretches and can look looser than your true dry pattern.
Does Curltine have a curl type quiz?
This on-site quiz helps you estimate your pattern. Curltine uses a photo hair scan to estimate pattern plus porosity and density, then builds a wash-day routine from that profile.
