A simple guide from 1A to 4C.
Use this page to compare pattern shape, porosity, density, common needs, and starter product direction before building your profile.
Porosity
How your hair takes in and holds moisture.
Porosity shapes how quickly products absorb, how long moisture lasts, and whether lighter or richer formulas tend to feel better.
Density
How full your hair feels across the scalp.
Density helps explain whether a routine needs airy layers, balanced textures, or richer formulas that can spread through fuller sections.
