Does this actually work for fine natural hair?

Yes — that's the entire point. My Crown AI™ was built specifically for fine-strand natural hair, using The Duplan Method™. It doesn't rely on generic curl-pattern charts; it reads strand behavior, density, porosity, and scalp health.

Are my photos private?

Your scans are private. Only you — and the stylist you explicitly choose to share with — can see them. We never sell or share your photos.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Cancel from your dashboard in one click. Whether you're on Essentials ($49/mo), Complete ($79/mo), or a Founding Member, you keep full access through the end of your billing period.

How is this different from a generic hair app?

Most apps ask you to pick a curl type from a chart and hand you the same tips as everyone else. My Crown AI™ actually looks at your crown and adapts to how your hair changes over time.

Can I share my report with my stylist?

Yes. Every scan can be exported and shared with your stylist so they know exactly what your crown is doing before you walk in.

Do I need special equipment?

No. Any modern phone camera works. Natural light is best.

How often should I scan?

Most members scan every 2–4 weeks. That's enough to see meaningful change in your Duplan Hair Assessment Score™ without over-obsessing.
