    My questionsMaya

    Your question

    Why do my ends tangle after every wash?

    Your ends are the oldest, most-handled part of long, fine hair, so they catch on each other when wet.

    The fix is more slip at the ends and detangling while conditioner is still in. A heavier product at the roots would only flatten them.

    Why this fits you

    Why this product

    • Lauryl glucoside (line 2) and coco-glucoside (line 3) are mild cleansers, suited to a scalp you wash often.
    • No fragrance. You said scent irritates your scalp.
    • No rich oils or butters in the first eight lines, so fine roots stay light.

Questions

Before you start.

Anything else is on the full FAQ, or write to hello@hairyoulove.com.

Do you sell products or earn commissions?

No. We don’t make hair products, no brand pays to appear in the library or to rank higher, and we earn no commission on any link. The products in your plan are ordinary ones you can buy wherever you already shop.

What exactly do I get for $49?

A written plan built from your answers: direct answers to your questions, a routine in the right order, products that fit and why each one was chosen, how much to use and where, what to expect over the next few weeks, and one experiment to try. It stays in your profile, and for 60 days you can ask follow-up questions and update it (12 months with the $99 option).

How long does it take, and when do I pay?

Telling us what’s going on takes a couple of minutes and is free. We show which questions your consultation will cover, then you pay $49, or $99 for 12 months of follow-ups. The rest takes about 15 minutes and saves as you go, so you can finish on any device. Payment is open to customers in the United States.

Do you test my hair?

No. Your plan is built from what you tell us about your hair (how it behaves wet, how fast your scalp gets oily, what has and hasn’t worked) and our researched library of product formulas.

What if my hair, products or the season change?

Ask a follow-up question or update an answer, and the parts of your plan that depend on it are rebuilt. You can do that for 60 days with the $49 option, or for 12 months with the $99 option. Your plan stays in your profile after either ends.

Is this medical advice?

No. It’s cosmetic hair care. If you have sudden shedding or scalp symptoms, we’ll suggest you see a medical professional.
