About This Quiz

We might not want to admit it, but the way our hair looks on a particular day can really affect our mood. A good hair day can give us an unexpected burst of confidence, while a bad hair day can plunge our mood into the depths of despair. It might not make much sense, but control over our hair makes us feel as if we have control over the universe, even though our hair will just look messy again the next day and the universe is more complex than our minds could ever imagine.

But do you think that you're above the simple human tendency to let your hair dictate your mood? Or do you believe that like Natasha Lyonne in "Russian Doll," you're always having a good hair day? If you want to prove to us that you're too smart (or well-groomed) to be affected by what your hair looks like, we invite you to take this quiz!

We're going to guess how great your hair looks today, via a series of yes or no questions about your morning routine, coffee order, work successes and more. Based on your answers, our supercomputer will calculate whether your hair is slaying, looking fine or resembles a bird's nest in a hurricane. Do you want to find out if we'll get it right?
