How I assess your hair before I choose anything

You don't book a bottle. You book a result. Before I choose a chemistry I read the hair, and I use the same ladder for every head: the Zoltan tecSture Scale™.

The ladder

Ten steps. Straight is 1 at the bottom, zigzag is 10 at the top. s1–s2 straight · w3–w4 wave · c5–c7 curl · z8–z10 zigzag. StraighteningDOWN brings your number down. A perm takes it up. Every treatment on this site shows the move it makes, from → to.

  1. z10zigzag
  2. z9zigzag
  3. z8zigzag
  4. c7curl
  5. c6curl
  6. c5curl
  7. w4wave
  8. w3wave
  9. s2straight
  10. s1straight

What I look at

  1. What your hair does now. Its number, wet and dry.
  2. What you want it to do. Your number.
  3. What has already been done to it. Colour, bleach, previous straighteningDOWN or perms. The hair remembers.
  4. What it can safely take. The strand test decides, not the bottle.
  5. The distance between 1 and 2, measured against 4. That is the treatment. Sometimes the answer is no.

Tell me the result. I choose the chemistry.
