Your hair has a code.
Let’s read it.
Four taps. No typing, no email, no wrong answers. At the end you get your code on the Zoltan teCsture Scale™ — the shorthand that tells any hairdresser what your hair is and what it can take.
Best done on dry hair, worn natural — not straightened, not fresh from a ponytail.
You may already know a number from the internet — 3B, 4C. That is a chart that describes hair. This is a code that predicts a treatment. Different jobs — and your old number still works, so you keep it.
What does your pattern look like?
Pick the one closest to a single strand of your hair, left to dry on its own.
Tighter, or looser?
Within your family, pick the closest.
How much of your pattern can you still see?
Frizz is graded against your own pattern — not against anyone else’s hair.
Across the whole life of your hair — what has it had?
Only count what is still on your head. If you have had a big cut since, it went with it. Otherwise go all the way back — not just this year. One answer per line, then how often. Be honest: the code only works if it is true.
