Roses are red 🌹, The lab coat is white 🥼, When your scalp is in balance, Your hair catches the light. But beyond the pH, And the oils we choose 🧴, Self-love is the rhythm ♥️, We cannot afford to lose. Whether you’re celebrating with a partner or enjoying your own company today, remember that your hair is a living extension of your body’s story. It deserves your patience, your kindness, and a gentle touch. Marrying your hair care routine with self-love means: - Listening to what your scalp is telling you instead of getting frustrated. - Honoring the ritual of the massage, not just the result of the style. - Forgiving the "bad hair days" while we work on the data. The Lab is taking a rest day! 🧪 I’ll be offline today to practice a little self-love of my own. I encourage you to do the same—put down the pH strips for a moment, step away from the mirror and just be. Wishing you all a day filled with peace, oxytocin, and healthy cuticles. Happy Valentine’s Day, Lab Fam ♥️🌹🥰! — Tanesha P.S. Welcome @Belle Codjoe. Thank you for joining

"We’ve officially survived our first week in the Foundation! 🥳 I’ve been seeing some new faces join the group and I want to give a massive welcome to everyone who introduced themselves this week. You are in the right place to finally bridge the gap between 'hair trends' and actual science. I know many of you saw my 'Know Your Scalp' mission earlier this week. If you haven't commented yet because you weren't sure what to say. This is for you. Observation is the very first step of being a practitioner. You don't need fancy tools yet; you just need to start seeing patterns. Today’s Question: What is one thing you noticed about your scalp or hair this week that you’ve never paid attention to before? Was it a bit of redness? A certain 'tight' feeling? Or maybe you realised you've been guessing your hair type for years? Drop your 'Aha!' moment below. No long reports needed—just one sentence! 👇 I’ll be hanging out in the comments today to help you translate what those observations might mean for your Fiber Physics. Let’s celebrate the small wins together! "

New here? Start by [Introducing Yourself] https://www.skool.com/the-scalp-story-foundation-8647/introduce-yourself-what-brought-you-here?p=2d1b8c2d and tell us what part of your hair’s "behaviour" you want to decode first! Let’s get to work. Tanesha ☺️

This week’s challenge: Take a proper look at your scalp - maybe for the first time ever. Your mission: 1. Part your hair in 3-4 sections 2. Look at your scalp (use your phone camera if it helps you see better or just use a mirror) 3. Notice what you CAN see: Colour? Any visible buildup? Flaking? Redness? How much scalp shows through (density)? What you can observe yourself: ∙ Scalp colour (pale, pink, red, brown tones) ∙ Visible buildup or flaking ∙ How dense your hair looks (can you see lots of scalp or very little?) ∙ Any obvious irritation or redness What you CAN’T fully assess with just your eyes/phone: ∙ Follicle health (needs trichoscope) ∙ pH levels (needs testing) ∙ Inflammation beneath the surface ∙ Exact causes of what you’re seeing This is just observation - not diagnosis. Share in the comments: ∙ What surprised you when you actually looked? ∙ What did you notice that you’d never paid attention to before? ∙ One question about what you’re seeing No judgment. Just observation. Let’s learn to SEE our scalps together. Drop your findings below 👇 (Photos optional - even just describing what you noticed is great!) I’ll go first in the comments to show you what I mean. Tanesha 🌱

I’m so excited to see this community growing! A huge welcome to everyone who’s joined The Scalp Story Foundation over the last couple of days. Whether you found us through Instagram, WhatsApp, word of mouth, through a personal invitation or you’ve been following my work for a while. I’m so glad you’re here. A few faces I want to welcome by name: @Caroline Chileshe call her CeeCee, @Johnson Clara, @Mikhi Pretty, @Grace Amarachii and @Lycreshia Paul. @Gillian Wedderburn, thank you for being one of the very first! And to everyone else who’s joined - drop a 👋 in the comments so we can get to know you! Here’s what’s coming this week: 📸 Tomorrow (Wednesday): Our first community challenge drops! It’s a simple one to get you started. I’ll show you how to properly assess your scalp (something most people have never actually done). 🎉 Friday: We’ll celebrate wins and progress - big or small. If you haven’t introduced yourself yet, head over to the “Introduce Yourself” post and tell us: ∙ Your name ∙ Where you’re joining from ∙ What brought you here ∙ One thing about your hair/scalp you most want to understand This is a space for real learning, real support, and real community. No judgment. No product pushing. Just science-based education and people helping people. Let’s do this together. 🌱 Tanesha PS: If you know anyone who’d benefit from being here, invite them! This community is completely free and always will be.
