CLEAR ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this quiz measure?
It compares scalp changes, hair texture, activity level, styling habits, and wash-day experience to estimate a practical wash schedule. It also indicates which product types tend to fit that schedule.
How long does it take and how many questions are included?
Estimated completion time is about 10 minutes. The quiz includes 16 questions.
How should the results be interpreted?
The highest score indicates the strongest match among four schedules. Scores within one point suggest a blended routine.
Is the result a medical recommendation?
No; the result is a starting point for routine planning and not a diagnosis or treatment plan. Persistent itching, pain, sores, sudden hair loss, or severe flaking requires advice from a qualified healthcare professional.
How should questions be answered when routines vary?
Select the option that best reflects the most common pattern over the past few weeks. If two options fit equally well, choose the one that matches typical scalp condition and styling frequency.
