3. Hair Type

There are 2 ways to find out whether your hair is thick or thin/fine. 

The First Way: The first way is to measure the time taken for your hair to dry, if it is less than one hour, it means your hair is thin/fine. If your hair takes one hour or more to dry means your hair is thick.

The Second Way: Make a pony tail using your thumb and forefinger to make a circle around it. Your hair is thin/fine if the circle of the size is dime-sized or less (show picture), whereas thick hair will have a size that is about quarter-sized or more (show picture). Anything size that falls in between this two is medium thickness.
