Your coils deserve more than guesswork. Coildex is the hair-care companion built for Type 3a through 4c — where your routine, your products, your styles, and your progress finally live in one place that actually understands your hair. Scan a bottle, know what you're buying The Aisle Scanner reads any product barcode and instantly tells you: do you already own it? Does it duplicate something in your routine? Is the ingredient list good for your hair type and porosity? Standing in the beauty aisle has never been less of a gamble. Understand every ingredient — for your hair Tap any ingredient in any product to get a personalized "for your hair" verdict in seconds. Paste a full ingredient list into the Analyzer and we break it into Good, Caution, and Avoid — customized to your sensitivities, water type, and damage factors. Watch for clashes inside a routine too — protein-on-protein, silicones blocking your leave-in, surfactants stripping the conditioner you just paid for. Build a routine that fits you Start from 16+ pre-built templates — Wash Day, Deep Condition, Clarifying Wash, Trims, Take Down — or design your own. Drag and drop to reorder, attach products to each step, set it for daily, weekly, monthly, or occasional. A home-screen widget, Live Activities on the Lock Screen, and Siri Shortcuts mean you never have to open the app to mark something done. A hairstyle library worth using 80+ styles — Braids, Locs, Twists, Natural, Updos, Fades, Line-Ups — every one labeled with tension, maintenance, duration, and difficulty. Edge-sensitive? Filter out high-tension styles before they ever reach your head. Bookmark what you've worn, rate it, and build a personal style diary. The science, tuned to you Your Hair Guide isn't a generic 4c article. It factors your porosity, density, texture, and damage history into a protein schedule, oil guide (penetrating vs. sealing), silicone-group recommendations, and a styler order that actually makes sense. As you rate products and routines, the Guide evolves — starring ingredients you've loved, flagging ones that have let you down. Track your journey Quick Log captures every wash, deep condition, protein treatment, trim, length check, and protective-style install in one tap. A calendar heatmap shows your consistency month over month. Streaks, weekly completion, program-day count — the small signals that tell you you're actually showing up. Community wisdom, hair-type filtered Product reviews are filtered by your hair type, porosity, and texture — so you're only seeing what worked for someone with hair like yours. No more wondering if a 5-star review came from someone with completely different hair. Built for real life Offline-first: your completions sync the moment you're back online — you'll never lose a check-in on the subway. Share a routine with a friend via link. Dark mode. OpenDyslexic font toggle. No ads. No selling your data. Free to get started. Your hair knows best. Coildex is here to help you listen. Coildex is a hair care companion, not medical advice. Every head of hair is unique — always pay attention to how yours responds.
