Catalog portraits for Hmong are AI-generated adult subjects; the measurements on this page come from documented photographs of real people, not from these images.
Hair texture (Andre Walker)
n = 18 assessableAndre Walker hair-texture classification covering the spectrum from straight (Type 1) to coily (Type 4), with subdivisions A-C within each numbered type.

| 2B — wavy, mediumDefined S-waves; medium texture. | 11% | 2 | |
| 3A — curly, loose ringletsLoose, soft ringlets; well-defined curl. | 6% | 1 | |
| 2A — wavy, fineLoose S-waves; fine texture. | 6% | 1 |

Hair color
n = 22 assessablePredominant natural hair color, where determinable. Visibly dyed hair should be flagged via grooming-state metadata.
| Value | Share | n | |
|---|---|---|---|
| BlackVery dark hair appearing black under normal lighting; high eumelanin. | 55% | 12 | |
| Dark brownDistinctly brown but darker than medium-brown. | 36% | 8 | |
| Dyed (native color uncertain)Visible dye job; native color cannot be reliably inferred. | 5% | 1 | |
| GrayVisibly graying hair, mixed pigmented and unpigmented. | 5% | 1 |

Hair density
n = 18 assessableDensity of native scalp hair when ungroomed.
| Value | Share | n | |
|---|---|---|---|
| ThinSome visible scalp; reduced density. | 6% | 1 | |
| AverageStandard density; minimal visible scalp. | 50% | 9 | |
| ThickAbove-average density. | 44% | 8 |

Hairline shape
n = 18 assessableShape of the anterior hairline.
| Value | Share | n | |
|---|---|---|---|
| RoundedSmooth curve hairline; no peaks. | 67% | 12 | |
| M-shape (temporal recession)Bilateral temporal recession creating an M-shape; common male-pattern feature. | 28% | 5 | |
| StraightApproximately horizontal hairline across the forehead. | 6% | 1 |

Graying pattern
n = 22 assessablePattern and extent of visible gray / white hair.
| Value | Share | n | |
|---|---|---|---|
| NoneNo visible gray hairs. | 77% | 17 | |
| Scattered fewA few isolated gray hairs visible. | 14% | 3 | |
| Dyed (graying suggested)Visible dye job that likely covers gray; native graying state not directly observable. | 5% | 1 | |
| Predominantly gray | 5% | 1 |

Where these numbers come from
22 publicly documented portraits of notable Hmong people were assessed by a vision model against the full 22-vocabulary schema, one value per dimension. Values are what the photographs show, read by a model, not population measurements. Each table counts only portraits where the value could be assessed; covered, obscured and unclear portraits are reported separately.
Notable-people corpora skew older, so hair color over-represents gray and white, and image quality varies. Treat shares as a description of this sample.
These rows are not yet in the published catalog dataset, which currently carries the earlier single-row analysis; see the methodology. A family page exists only when at least 10 portraits carry an assessable value.
