What's Your Hair Type? (And Why We're Over Labels)

Tired of Hair Type Quizzes That Tell You Nothing?

You've probably taken one of those "What's your hair type?" quizzes. You clicked through 8 questions, squinted at hair chart diagrams, and landed on something like: Type 2C with low porosity and medium density. Cool. But what does that actually mean when your hair still feels weirdly greasy at the roots and fried at the ends?

Hair Typing Isn’t the Answer to Your Real Hair Problems

Here’s the deal: hair type charts and scientific-sounding labels are cute in theory, but in real life? They don’t do much. Because your hair is more than a "type." It’s hormonal shifts, city dust, heat damage, humidity chaos, and that one product that just never worked.

Trying to box your hair into a single label is like trying to define your mood with one emoji. Doesn’t work.

DIAMIA’s Take: Focus on What Your Hair Does, Not What It’s Called

We don’t care if your hair is 2A, 4C, or just "IDK." DIAMIA is built for performance, not pigeonholes. We believe in formulas that adapt to what your hair needs, when it needs it. Dry today? Sweaty after that boxing class? Frizzing out in Dubai heat? We got you.

Forget the jargon. Let’s talk real talk: what’s your hair going through?

Breakdown: Common Hair Realities (And What to Do About Them)

  • Dry ends, oily scalp? Your shampoo is probably over-cleansing your roots and under-caring for your lengths. You need targeted action, not a blanket fix.
  • Fine hair that falls flat? Most "volumizing" shampoos are just fluff. DIAMIA’s waterless formula gives lift without buildup.
  • Curly but unpredictable? You need a formula that respects your pattern and responds to humidity. No crunchy curls here.
  • Thick hair that feels heavy? You’re not imagining it. Most products coat your hair with silicones and filler. DIAMIA strips it down to what works.

Relatable Example: Meet the Everyday Hair Hustle

It’s Monday morning. You’ve got a Zoom meeting, sweaty roots from your commute, and exactly 4 minutes to shower. You grab DIAMIA, foam it up, rinse, and roll out. No post-wash greasiness, no residue, no extra drama.

Or it’s Thursday night. You're headed out in Mumbai’s sticky weather. You need your hair to hold up and not wilt into a puffball. DIAMIA helps you stay light, clean, and unapologetically you.

Call to Action: Your Hair Doesn’t Need a Label. It Needs a Break.

Toss out the chart. Forget the quizzes. Start paying attention to what your hair feels like instead of what it's called. DIAMIA is here for every version of you — from boardroom to beach day, no typecasting required.

TL;DR

Hair types are helpful but limiting. Your hair changes with your lifestyle, environment, and habits. DIAMIA skips the labels and delivers straight-up performance. Clean, bold, filler-free haircare that actually listens to your hair.


Keep it bold. Keep it real. Keep it DIAMIA.
