Part your hair in the middle and look at your scalp in natural light:
Low Density
Scalp is clearly visible. Hair appears thin and may lack volume.
Medium Density
Scalp is somewhat visible. Hair appears balanced and full.
High Density
Scalp is barely visible. Hair looks thick and voluminous.
To determine your hair elasticity, you need to start with clean, wet hair.
Good Elasticity
Hair stretches and returns without breaking.
High ElasticityHair stretches a lot before returning, so you keep on stretching.
Low ElasticityHair breaks quickly without much stretching.
To identify your hair porosity, review the characteristics below and see which best matches your hair:
Low Porosity Hair
If your hair takes more than 8 hours to dry naturally, does not easily release moisture once absorbed, and usually feels smooth without bumps, you likely have low porosity hair. This type typically isn’t dyed, doesn’t use heat styling, and hasn’t undergone chemical treatments.
Medium Porosity Hair
If your hair dries naturally within 4–8 hours, balances moisture absorption and retention well, and feels smooth with cuticles lying flat but not too tight, you probably have medium porosity hair. This type can be dyed up to 2 shades darker or lighter than the natural color, occasionally uses heat (around once a month), and might have used chemical treatments, but not within the last year.
High Porosity Hair
If your hair dries naturally within 0–4 hours, absorbs and releases moisture quickly, and often feels bumpy due to raised or damaged cuticles, you likely have high porosity hair. This type is often dyed more than 2 shades darker or lighter than the natural color, uses heat styling weekly (such as blow dryers, flat irons, and curling irons), and might have undergone chemical treatments more than once a year.
Hair structure is about the shape of your strands—straight, wavy, curly, or coily. Here’s how to identify yours:
Straight Hair
Straight hair has no curl pattern. It lies flat from root to tip, usually appears shiny, and can get oily quickly.
Wavy Hair
Wavy hair has an “S” shape. It can be fine or coarse and tends to frizz in humidity but holds styles well.
Curly Hair
Curly hair forms distinct curls or ringlets. It has more volume and is more prone to dryness and frizz.
Coily Hair
Coily hair forms tight zig-zags or coils. It’s the most fragile hair type and needs rich moisture and gentle care.
