What is a hair analysis, and how important is it to have one?
A proper hair analysis involves a professional observation of your hair's overall family tree root system. It encompasses your hair's past, present, and future goals, including where the hair has been, products used, mindset, and belief system about your hair, the current state of your hair, and future goals for your hair.
I do not recommend learning this from social media or someone who references their hair type that mirrors yours, as they are not offering you expert experience but rather their experimental opinion. Knowing your hair can save you from many pitfalls, such as always doing the big chop every other year, feeling frustrated with your hair being dry, perceiving slow or limited hair growth, struggling with selecting the right hair products, determining the appropriate frequency for shampooing, choosing safe hair colors if you consider hair coloring, understanding how to care for your hair and scalp without causing repeated damage, and maintaining proper hair care as the seasons change naturally, along with bodily changes, aging, pregnancy, stress, diet, and more.
