Finding Your Match

How to Choose Your Perfect Texture

01

Assess Your Natural Texture

Look at your hair in its natural state — not heat styled or treated. This is your true texture.

02

Consider Your Leave-Out

If you plan to leave hair out, match to how your leave-out will be styled.

03

Think About Maintenance

Closer texture matches require less daily manipulation and blending.
