If you’ve ever felt like you’re that confused shopper in the shampoo aisle staring at all of the bottles and still have no idea what to buy, let us remind you, you’re not alone.
You see, the key to looking your best is actually taking action from a realistic place of what you know about yourself, and great hair is no exception. So let’s start with a hair quiz. Instead of taking shots in the dark with your products or routine that lead you around in circles trying to get the desired result, through a series of basic questions, you can take this information and actualize it.
Why Guessing Your Hair Type Doesn’t Work
You think you know your hair type, but it’s not that simple. Between humidity and heat styling and, heck, your diet, you might think you have “dry” hair when in fact, your hair might be protein-depleted, damaged, or reacting to environmental factors.
This is where the hair quiz comes in handy. It’s designed to ask you the right questions to pinpoint aspects of your routine, goals, and hair attributes, which together can give a comprehensive picture of how your hair is doing, and you can’t always tell by just looking in the mirror!
Personalized Haircare Is the Future
The conversation within the world of beauty is changing. Gone are the days of lumping us all in together and hoping for the best. Instead, it’s all about hair type quizzes. And a great hair quiz won’t just categorize you. It should make recommendations for your routines, too.
Brands like Amika have really run with this. They create hairstyling tools and haircare formulas for more or less everybody. Instead of devising one-size-fits-all collections, they develop formulas for the hair type and hairstyle concerns of each and every one of us. They also provide a user-friendly hair characterization quiz online that allows you to suss out your precise hair profiling characteristics in just minutes and send you a well-matched hair care product designed specifically with regard to your hair texture, complaints and preferred hairstyles. In the academic world, targeted hair care no longer feels like a bother.
How a Hair Quiz Simplifies Your Routine
The main benefit we hear again and again is that it simplifies everything! Instead of having to think about what order to use your products in, you only have to use the “next step” listed in the plan. No more waste (or wasted $).
If your hair is a combo (e.g., color-treated hair and also frizzy), then your plan will likely focus on a number of products on both moisture retention and environmental protection. That means you’re not buying multiple products that you don’t need and seeing limited effectiveness of a product, as in our experience, those aren’t the product’s fault. It’s just that it’s only doing half of what you need!
And it’s fast! None of the information on finding a hair plan will take you more than about 3 minutes.
Better Results Without the Trial and Error
Let’s face it, haircare is quite the guessing game. And when you’ve gone broke trying to figure out the product combination your hair will actually like, you’ll find it’s no fun at all. A hair quiz puts an end to that.
Instead of going through several hair purchase mistakes because of ingredients that don’t do your hair justice, you’ll get to buy the right products on your first trial. Now, that’s impressive.
A Small Step That Makes a Big Difference
It may sound small, but a hair quiz can completely change the way you take care of your hair. Armed with some intel, your routine is less on accident and more on purpose. And we all know how much better things go when you’re doing them with some intention, right?
Instead of just following whatever thing is trending or using what someone else swears by, you’re piecing together a haircare routine that was meant to be. And actually, that’s when it stops feeling like a nuisance and becomes something that’s a serious confidence boost.
