AI Hair Care

Our AI reads your hair texture, density, volume, scalp visibility, and shine to recommend a routine and products that actually work for you — instead of the generic "use argan oil" advice every article seems to give.

Understanding your hair on four axes

Every good hair plan starts by understanding four independent things: the shape of each strand, how thick individual strands are, how many strands you have, and how your scalp behaves. The AI scores each axis from your photo so recommendations are actually tailored to you.

Curl pattern (1A–4C)

Straight, wavy, curly, and coily hair each need different moisture and protein balances. Straighter hair typically gets oily faster; coilier hair needs richer creams and less frequent shampoo. The AI classifies your pattern and picks products from there.

Strand thickness

Fine hair is easily weighed down and needs lightweight products; medium hair is the most forgiving; coarse hair loves rich butters and oils. Using the wrong weight is the single most common mistake — the plan avoids it.

Density (how much hair)

Density is different from thickness. A person can have fine strands but lots of them. If your scalp shows through in specific spots, we prioritize scalp serums and volumizing techniques rather than heavier styling products.

Scalp condition

Flakes, oiliness, itch, or redness change the plan more than your curl pattern does. We recommend a targeted scalp treatment (salicylic acid, zinc, ketoconazole, or gentle exfoliation) before any styling routine can succeed.

The common concerns we tune the routine around

Thinning at the temples or crown

Usually a mix of nutrition, sleep, stress and (for some) hormonal factors. The plan starts with a scalp serum (peptides or 2%–5% minoxidil where appropriate), higher iron and protein intake, and honest sleep repair. Photograph the same spot monthly to track.

Oily scalp with dry ends

Very common — the ends are older and lose oil faster than the scalp produces it. We recommend shampooing the scalp only, conditioning from mid-length down, and a weekly mask on the ends. Skip heavy oils near the roots.

Dandruff or flakes

Almost never a moisture problem. Usually a scalp yeast (Malassezia) imbalance. Rotate a ketoconazole or zinc-pyrithione shampoo twice a week; alternate with your gentle shampoo. Don't scratch — it worsens inflammation.

Frizz and flyaways

Hair frizzes when it's thirsty and the outer cuticle lifts. The fix is layered hydration: leave-in conditioner on damp hair, a small amount of lightweight oil to seal, and rough-drying with a towel or microfiber instead of cotton.

Heat and color damage

Broken bonds inside the strand. Once a week, use a bond-repair mask (look for ingredients like maleic acid). Turn heat tools down to 320–350°F for fine hair and 380–400°F for coarse hair, and always use heat protectant.

Postpartum or seasonal shedding

Losing more than usual for 3–6 months after childbirth or a stressful season is normal. The plan focuses on gentle handling, protein-rich meals, and iron and Vitamin D checks — not on new products.

What we usually cut from routines

  • • Daily shampooing when the scalp isn't actually oily
  • • Heavy silicone-only conditioners with no active ingredients
  • • Tight elastic ties on damp hair (a top cause of breakage at the mid-lengths)
  • • Very hot water — it strips the scalp and dries out lengths
  • • Alcohol-heavy dry shampoos used more than 2 days in a row

What we usually add

  • • A silk or satin pillowcase — cheap, huge frizz reduction overnight
  • • A weekly scalp exfoliation for people who use lots of styling product
  • • Rosemary or peptide scalp serum for anyone concerned about density
  • • Wide-tooth comb on wet hair, always working bottom-up
  • • Regular trims every 8–12 weeks to remove split ends before they travel

Inside your hair plan

  • Hair type identification (curl, thickness, density, scalp)
  • A 5–7 step daily and weekly routine with realistic time commitment
  • Shampoo, conditioner, mask, oil and styling picks matched to your budget
  • Supplements that meaningfully support hair growth (biotin, iron, zinc, omega-3, Vitamin D)
  • Techniques for washing, drying and heat styling that reduce breakage
