This curly hair quiz asks about pattern, shrinkage, clumping, and product feel to estimate your curl family from 2A waves to 4C coils. The interactive widget is available on the HTML page; this markdown version covers the same score guide, caveats, and FAQ.

## Score guide: what your answers mean

| Mostly answered | Likely family | Read next |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Loose, flat, low-shrinkage waves | Wavy, 2A–2B | [Curl type 2A](https://curlyhair.app/fr/blog/curl-type-2a) |
| Deep waves to loose spirals | Wavy-curly border, 2C–3A | [Curl type chart](https://curlyhair.app/fr/blog/curl-type-chart) |
| Springy, defined ringlets | Curly, 3A–3C | [Curl type 3A](https://curlyhair.app/fr/blog/curl-type-3a) |
| Tight coils, high shrinkage | Coily, 4A–4C | [Curl type 4C](https://curlyhair.app/fr/blog/curl-type-4c) |

A mixed result across two rows usually means your crown and nape read differently. See [finding your curl type at home](https://curlyhair.app/fr/blog/find-curl-type-at-home).

## Do I have wavy hair? Quick quiz path

If most answers pointed to loose bends and low shrinkage, you're likely wavy (2A–2C). Check [2A wavy hair](https://curlyhair.app/fr/blog/curl-type-2a) before shopping for curl/coil products.

## Why online curl quizzes get it wrong

Multiple-choice answers can't see lighting, product buildup, damage, or mixed zones. A short estimate is a starting point — not a diagnosis.

## Better than a quiz: the Curltine hair scan

1. Open Curltine and take a clear photo of clean, product-light hair.
2. Review pattern, porosity, and density signals in your profile.
3. Follow the suggested wash-day plan and refresh tips.
4. Scan products when a label looks confusing so weight and ingredients match your profile.

## After your result: build a routine

Confirm porosity with the [hair porosity test](https://curlyhair.app/fr/blog/hair-porosity-test) (see also the [porosity hub](https://curlyhair.app/fr/porosity)), then follow a [wash day routine](https://curlyhair.app/fr/blog/wash-day-routine).

## Frequently asked questions

### What is my curl type quiz?
It's a short set of questions about pattern shape, shrinkage, clumping, and product feel. Your answers map to a 2A–4C family so you get a starting label instead of guessing from a chart alone.

### Are curl quizzes accurate?
They're accurate enough to point you toward a family, not a precise result. 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.

### What's the difference between this quiz and a Curltine hair scan?
The quiz estimates a family from how you describe your hair. A Curltine scan reads an actual photo for pattern, porosity, and density together, then builds a routine from that combined profile instead of one letter.
