HAIR DIAGNOSE

FAQs

Why should I do a hair diagnose?

A hair diagnosis allows for a precise assessment of the hair's condition, from roots to ends. In our quiz the scalp is not overlooked, as its health is crucial—it directly affects the state of the hair fiber.

By identifying one or more concerns, often referred to as "hair issues", we can tailor your hair care routine to address them, either as a preventive measure or for corrective care.

The goal is to achieve the optimal balance for a comfortable, regulated, and healthy scalp, along with strong, shiny, and soft luscious hair.

How to know the nature of my hair?

At BRUSH, we prefer not to focus on the term "hair nature", as it can change over time. Instead, we use "hair type" to describe the shape and texture of the hair (straight, wavy, curly, coily). For temporary conditions affecting the hair or scalp, such as oily scalp, brittle hair, or dandruff, we use the word "state" as these are issues that can be resolved with the right care.

Yes, our products are perfectly suited for those with sensitive scalps or prone to allergies. We only offer premium hair care products that are sulphate- and paraben-free, mostly vegan, and free from common irritants. Our collections are designed to be gentle, ensuring they nourish your hair without compromising scalp health, making them safe for most sensitive skin types.

How would I know if my hair is damaged?

You can tell if your hair is damaged by looking for a few key signs:

1. Dryness and brittleness: Damaged hair often feels rough, dry, and brittle to the touch.
2. Split ends: Noticeable splitting or fraying at the ends is a clear sign of damage.
3. Excessive frizz: Hair that is constantly frizzy, even in normal conditions, can indicate damage.
4. Dullness: If your hair has lost its natural shine and looks lifeless, it may be damaged.
5. Tangles and breakage: Damaged hair tends to tangle easily and break off when brushing.
6. Lack of elasticity: Healthy hair stretches slightly when pulled. If your hair snaps easily, it may be damaged.

If you notice any of these signs, it's a good idea to start the hair diagnose and to see our BRUSH stylist who can provide proper hair services and care.
