As you may have seen, the hair test is central to us. We are often asked why it is so important to do this test. Last week, during a PR event of adore agency in Amsterdam , I performed the hair test live on a number of clients, and it was truly fantastic! Matching the right products to your specific hair type , completely based on facts, gave such great results. I felt like a professor because of all the knowledge I have gained over the years about different hair types. What struck me most is how many people are still using the wrong products for their hair.
The hair test helps prevent this and really makes a world of difference. In this blog post we will delve deeper into the benefits of personalized hair care and how our hair test can help you with this.

1. What is a Hair Test?
A hair test is a personal analysis of your hair. It provides insight into various characteristics of your hair, such as:
-
Hair type 1 to 4 (straight, wavy, curly or frizzy)
-
Hair density (how much hair per square centimeter on your head)
-
Elasticity (how far your hair can stretch without breaking)
-
Porosity (how well your hair absorbs and retains moisture)
-
Scalp condition (dry, oily, sensitive or flaky)
By analyzing these characteristics, you can choose exactly the right products and routines that suit your hair type and condition . This way, your hair gets the best care, completely tailored to what it needs.
2. Why is personalized hair care so important?
Because there are so many different hair types, each type has its own unique needs . After years of research, I have found that if you dig deeper, there are over 100 different hair types. What works for someone with fine, straight hair may not work at all for someone with thick, curly hair. This may seem obvious, but it is just one of many factors to consider.
Here are some more reasons why it is essential to take care of your hair in a customized way:
Effective results: When you use products that are tailored to your specific hair type and condition, you will notice that your hair becomes healthier and more manageable. For example, the right products can help hydrate dry hair, tame frizz, or repair damaged hair.
Prevents waste: How many times have you bought a product that ultimately doesn't work for your hair? With the hair test, you prevent bad purchases, because you immediately choose products that are effective for your unique hair structure and scalp.
Promotes hair health: Your hair can be damaged by a number of factors: excessive use of heat, chemical treatments, weather conditions and even the wrong products. The hair test not only helps you find the right care products, but also provides insight into the health of your hair and scalp, so you can take the right steps to prevent and repair damage.
