About This Quiz

If you take a good look around you, you'll notice a wide variety of hair colors, hairstyles and hair textures. We all have one of these "hair types" on our head, and before you take this beauty quiz, we're going to go over what they all are!

Let's start with straight hair, which is also known as "type 1 hair." As the name implies, straight hair doesn't have any defining curls or waves to it, but it's also versatile enough to be transformed into different types of hairstyles. This type of hair is also not very prone to damage from heated styling tools. Next up is "type 2 hair," which you might know as wavy hair. You won't need much to maintain beautiful beach waves, but this hair type is definitely prone to frizz that is caused by humidity. Curly hair is known as "type 3 hair," which is known for its volume and spiral strands. While more effort is needed to maintain these types of curls, this is definitely a great look for people with a bold personality. And finally, there is "type 4 hair" which is also known as kinky hair. The curls are tightly woven with this one, but it's also very prone to damage. 

So if you're curious about which type of hair you have, then take our beauty quiz right now!
