Your hair has a structure, and understanding it changes everything. The Basic Analysis puts your strands under a microscope to measure the three traits that drive which products will actually work for you: porosity, strand width, and elasticity. You'll see what's happening along your strand from root to tip, and finally understand why your hair behaves the way it does.
 
What's included:
Your full results: dry and wet elasticity, root-to-tip porosity, strand width, and a recommended trim
10–15 high-resolution microscope images of your hair (root, midshaft, and tip), each with notes explaining what it shows
A buildup, UV damage, and breakage assessment
A written overview of what your results mean, plus general guidance on the types of ingredients and habits that suit your hair
 
The Basic Analysis is where to start if you want to understand your hair and make smarter choices on your own. It does not include reviews of your specific products or a personalized product list; for those, take a look at the Premium or Complete Analysis.
