Measurement Guide

1. Scalp condition

There are 4 primary categories of scalp condition: normal, dry, oily, and combination. However, your scalp condition varies greatly during the course of your life. The many internal and external factors that determine scalp condition include: climate and pollution, medication, stress and genetic factors that influence the levels of sebum and moisturizing factors that your scalp produces as well as the products that you use.

To evaluate your scalp condition, we use an expert approved questionnaire. Based on the questionnaire score, we grade scalp condition into normal, dry, oily, and combination following the scale shown in Table 1.

2. Radar graph and bar graph

To help you gain insights in your hair and scalp diagnosis, we visualize the results using radar graph and bar graph. In the radar graph, the nearer a dot is located to the center, the better that hair or scalp attribute is.

In the bar graph, the lesser the color that fills the bar, the worse that hair or scalp attribute is.

3. Your Focus Area

We identify your focus area as the top two hair measurements that you performed poorly. These weaknesses represent areas of focus in product recommendations. To better identify your actual hair weaknesses, a full spectrum of hair analysis is recommended.
