Cómo identificar tu patrón de rizo
Identifying your curl pattern takes about five minutes if you know what to look for. The catch: most online quizzes get it wrong because they don't account for multiple patterns on one head.
Limpio y sin productos
Wash your hair with a clarifying or regular shampoo. Skip conditioner if you can, or use the lightest you have. Air dry or low-heat diffuse with zero styling product.
Product residue masks the real pattern. So does conditioner-heavy washing. The cleaner the test, the more accurate the read.

Pull a single curl gently from the scalp to the tip. Don't stretch it. Look at the shape: is it a soft S, a tight S, a corkscrew, or a Z-pattern?
Do this at three places: crown, side, and nape. You'll often see different patterns in different spots. That's normal.
Compara con la guía
Match what you see to the curl type guide. If you have multiple patterns, note the dominant one and the secondary ones.
If you're not sure, that's also a normal answer. Yazmin reads it in person during the consult and will tell you exactly what's on your head.
Test questions
Mixed. They miss multi-pattern heads and they over-index on photos. A live in-person read is more reliable.
Hard. Damaged hair often shows a looser pattern than the underlying curls actually are. A treatment series can recover the real pattern.
No. Yazmin reads it at the consult.
Healthier ends often hold tighter patterns. As old damage grows out, the underlying pattern shows up more clearly.
Common. The surface frizz can hide tighter curls underneath. The consult will tell you what your hair actually is.
