Two people with identical 3C curls can need opposite products. Porosity, strand thickness, density, scalp behaviour, chemical history and climate all change how a formula performs.
The strand-in-water test is unreliable. Hairavie estimates porosity from how your hair behaves — how quickly it wets, how quickly it dries, whether products sit on top — and always shows a confidence level.
Fine strands and low-porosity hair are easily weighed down; coarse and high-porosity hair often welcomes richness. This is why the same 'holy grail' cream delights one person and flattens another.
A silicone may provide slip, shine, reduced friction and heat protection. Whether it works well for your hair depends on your routine and cleansing habits. Hairavie analyses formulas, never fear lists.
Ingredient order gives clues, not certainty. When formula data is incomplete, Hairavie lowers the confidence score rather than pretending to be sure.
Protein temporarily reinforces damaged strands; moisture keeps them flexible. The right ratio depends on your porosity, history and how your hair has actually responded.
