Welcome to The Scalp Story Foundation: Your Science-Based Start 🌱

I’ve always loved hair. As a hairdresser and makeup artist, I spent years making people feel beautiful. But over time, I started seeing something I couldn’t fix with a cut or a product recommendation.

I saw clients losing their hair. Family members struggling. People I cared about—especially those with textured hair—asking for help. And I had nothing real to offer but surface solutions.

“Try this oil.”

“Avoid heat.”

“Maybe it’s stress.”

I realised that for textured hair (curly, wavy, coily), the advice was based on appearance, not science. It ignored structure, mechanics, and material behavior.

That’s why I became a Trichology Practitioner. I didn't stop loving hair—I wanted to understand it. I am currently studying Anatomy, Physiology, and Pathology because hair loss isn't just about the scalp. It’s about your gut health, your hormones, and your immune system.

The Core Belief: Understanding Beats Products

Most people don’t have a hair problem. They have an understanding problem. You’ve been taught to follow routines, but you haven't been taught how hair actually works.

Inside this community, we focus on:

Geometry & Structure: Curls as biomechanical features, not categories.
Material Behavior: How porosity, elasticity, and stiffness actually work.
The Internal-External Connection: How your body (gut/hormones) speaks through your scalp.
Assessment Before Action: Learning to read patterns instead of reacting to today's dryness.
