How it works

  1. 1

    A few questions

    About your hair, your routine, and honestly how much time you have. The routine is built around the answer, not around an ideal week.

  2. 2

    Four photos

    Hairline, part, ends, and the whole length — guided by an on-screen outline, so week six is comparable with week one.

  3. 3

    An honest read

    Eight readings on what is visible: density, part width, scalp condition, breakage, frizz, shine, strand thickness, porosity. Each one says what it saw.

  4. 4

    Then again next week

    A re-scan compared against your own last photo, not against anybody else's. Scores are held to a small change between scans, so a bad photograph cannot invent a dramatic week.

How it behaves

It says what it saw

Every reading cites the thing in the photograph that produced it. A number with no evidence behind it is a guess wearing a uniform.

It refuses rather than guesses

A photo too dark or too blurred to read honestly comes back as unreadable. You get asked for another one instead of a confident invention.
