Hair Type Guide

Botanical hair care. Elemental nourishment. Total vitality.

The body is an ecosystem. We are composed of water, minerals, proteins and other essential elements—the same fundamental materials found throughout the natural world. Hair wellness is not viewed as an isolated concern, but as part of an interconnected relationship among the scalp, strands, nourishment, daily ritual and total vitality.

‘Koriem formulates with that interconnectedness in mind, bringing together botanical scalp and strand care, cosmeceutical-inspired topical formulas and nutraceutical support from vitamins, minerals and other elemental nutrients. Each innovative, multi-benefit formula has a defined role within a thoughtful hair-wellness path—helping connect often-overlooked links in scalp care, strand strength, length retention, beauty from within and fuller, healthier-looking hair.

Find the Right Ritual for Your Hair

Your curl pattern is only one part of the picture. The right ritual depends on what your hair and scalp are actually experiencing—thickness, porosity, density, scalp condition, and your current concerns. Use this guide to find your starting point.

Understand Your Hair

Before choosing products, get clear on what your hair is telling you.

Strand Thickness

Fine — Strands are delicate, easily weighed down, and prone to flatness. Lightweight formulas and scalp-first support matter most.
Medium — Versatile and resilient. Most rituals work well; focus on your primary concern.
Coarse — Strands are strong but can feel dry or resistant to moisture. Richer conditioning and internal support help most.

Density

Low density — Fewer strands per square inch. Scalp visibility is common. Prioritize follicle support and lightweight volume.
Medium density — Balanced. Focus on your primary concern.
High density — Thick, full hair that may need extra moisture penetration and detangling support.

Porosity

Low porosity — Hair resists moisture absorption. Use lightweight, water-based formulas and gentle heat to open the cuticle.
Balanced porosity — Hair absorbs and retains moisture well. Maintain with consistent wash day and internal support.
High porosity — Hair absorbs moisture quickly but loses it fast. Prioritize sealing, strengthening, and reducing breakage.

Scalp Experience

Dry or tight — Scalp needs hydration and circulation support. Start with scalp-focused oils and growth support.
Oily or buildup-prone — Clarifying wash day and a balanced scalp environment are the priority.
Comfortable and balanced — Maintain with consistent ritual and internal nutrition.

Current Concern

Shedding · Breakage · Dryness · Tangling · Flatness · Frizz · Slow growth · Scalp discomfort

Build Your Ritual

Every ‘Koriem ritual is built on the same three-part framework. You do not need everything at once — start where your hair needs the most support and build from there.

  1. Scalp support — Create the environment where healthy growth can happen.
  2. Strand and length-retention support — Strengthen strands and protect the length you grow.
  3. Beauty-from-within support — Internal nutrition that works with your topical routine to support the full growth cycle.

Start with one pillar. Add the next when you are ready.
