Welcome to the lab! To ensure this remains a high-value, evidence-based space for everyone, we follow these core principles:
âś… 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.
