For every hair type, 1a to 4c
CurlCue
A hair-care app that scores a product against your hair.
Scan a bottle and get a number built from your porosity, your scalp and the look you are steering toward — not from one universal good-or-bad list.

SCORING FOR
Wavy, curly or coily (2–4) · medium porosity · balanced scalp
Same bottles, different hair. Every number is the app’s own engine run against that profile — porosity and scalp are what move it, and a health gate can veto a score outright.
Try it
The phone is live.
Tap the mark to scan, switch the person, walk the tabs. Every score on it is the engine’s own.
Point it at a bottle. Get an answer about your hair.
The score
One number, for your hair, with the reasons under it.
This gel scores 86 for this head of hair. A different head gets a different number, and the page under it says why.
The routine
Your routine gets a score too, and says what is missing.
Forty-four, keep building: one of four products in place, three essential steps still to add, each step saying why it is there.
Compare
Two bottles, side by side, and where each one wins.
Seventy-nine against thirty-one for one person, with the tradeoffs named instead of averaged away.
Price
Sort by price. The scores barely move.
A $5.99 custard scores 86. The $28 balm scores 82. Best value puts the custard back on top.
CurlCue AI
Ask about any bottle. The answer starts from your score.
The chat opens on the card the engine already made, argues from it, and ends with the next three questions.
Who built it
Built by someone who gets asked what he uses every week.
CurlCue is that answer, scored for your hair instead of his.
