"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! "

Thank you for having me x

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 🌱

Hey everyone! 👋Thanks for having me here—happy to be part of this community. I’m here to learn, share insights, and connect with people who are focused on growth. Looking forward to engaging in discussions and adding value where I can. Let’s grow 🚀

Welcome to the lab! To ensure this remains a high-value, evidence-based space for everyone, we follow these core principles: ✅ THE "DO" LIST: - Prioritize Evidence: Ask questions and share findings. No question is too "basic" when we are deconstructing science. - Speak in Physics: When describing your hair, try to use terms like texture, density, and behavior rather than just appearance-based labels. - Support the Tribe: Offer kindness and clinical encouragement. We are all learning to "see" our scalps together. - Cite Your Sources: If you share a study or a scientific claim, tell us where it came from. We value Accuracy over Anecdotes. - Respect Privacy: Treat every member’s scalp photos and personal stories with the same confidentiality you’d expect in a clinic. ❌ THE "DON’T" LIST: - No Product-Pushing: This is a "Sales-Free Zone." Do not spam, share affiliate links or promote MLM products. We focus on Ingredients and pH, not brands. - No "Bathroom Diagnoses": We discuss observations and patterns, but we do not diagnose medical conditions. Always encourage a professional assessment for medical concerns. - No Shaming: There is no "good" or "bad" hair here—only different biological structures. We have zero tolerance for judgment or personal attacks. - No Misinformation: Do not present "hair myths" or marketing trends as scientific facts. 🔬 OUR PHILOSOPHY: Evidence over Trends. Assessment over Assumptions. Education over Quick Fixes. This community values measurable science, material behaviour and structural integrity—not marketing stories or surface-level categories. ⚠️ A NOTE ON CLINICAL ADVICE: While I share professional frameworks and Trichology insights, remember that this community is for educational purposes. Online information can never replace a 1-on-1 clinical assessment. Your unique "Scalp Story" may require personalised, professional attention. 🕵️‍♀️ IF YOU SEE SOMETHING: If you notice content that violates the integrity of these guidelines, please flag it or message me (Tanesha) directly. Let’s protect the quality of our collective laboratory.
