My Beauty Profile
Personalize your experience
💡 What's my hair type?
▼ Show Guide
Type 3 — Curly
3A — Loose, shiny S-shaped curls about the size of a piece of sidewalk chalk. Usually fine and easy to style. 3B — Springy curls, tighter than 3A. Mix of textures, prone to frizz. About the width of a marker. 3C — Tight corkscrews packed together. Very full and voluminous. Width of a pencil or straw.
Type 4 — Coily / Natural
4A — Soft, defined coils with an S-pattern. Holds moisture well. About the size of a crochet needle. 4B — Z-shaped pattern with sharp angles. Fluffy and full. Shrinks up to 70% when dry. 4C — Tightest coil pattern, least defined without product. Most prone to dryness and shrinkage (up to 75%).
💡 Quick tip: Most Black women have 4A–4C hair. Many have more than one type — pick what's most common on your head!
💡 What's my hair porosity?
▼ Show Guide
Porosity = how well your hair absorbs and holds moisture. This changes what products work best for you!
🔒 Low Porosity — Hair cuticles are tightly closed. Products sit on top instead of absorbing. Takes long to get wet & long to dry. Use lightweight, water-based products. Apply with heat (steam, warm towel).
✅ Medium Porosity — Cuticles are slightly open. Absorbs and retains moisture easily. Most products work well. Easy to maintain! This is the sweet spot.
💧 High Porosity — Cuticles are very open (often from damage or genetics). Absorbs moisture fast but loses it just as fast. Hair dries quickly, often frizzy. Use rich butters and oils to seal moisture in.
💧 Float test: Drop a clean strand of hair in a glass of water. If it floats — low porosity. Sinks slowly — medium. Sinks fast — high porosity.

💡 What's my skin type?
▼ Show Guide
🟡 Oily — Shiny all over by midday, especially on forehead, nose & chin. Pores look enlarged. Prone to breakouts.
🔵 Dry — Feels tight, rough or flaky. Rarely gets oily. Fine lines may appear more visible. Loves rich creams.
🟢 Combination — Oily T-zone (forehead, nose, chin) but dry or normal cheeks. The most common skin type!
⚪ Normal — Balanced. Not too oily, not too dry. Few breakouts, small pores, smooth texture. Lucky you!
💡 Quick test: Wash your face, wait 1 hour with no products. If it's shiny everywhere — oily. Tight & flaky — dry. Shiny only in the middle — combination. Feels comfortable — normal.
