I test heat tools for a living, so I got a hair X-ray to assess the damage—safe to say, I was surprised by the results

If you use heated tools, colour your hair or get chemical treatments, you’ll know that the trade-off is some level of damage. And as most of us will know, this can (and likely will) present as dryness, roughness and, at worst, hair breakage.

For most of us, we only have the visual and tactile signs to let us know the extent to which our hair is damaged from, say, being overzealous with the best hair straighteners. But what if your hairdresser could scan your hair and give you a more precise measure of said damage? You know where this is going... That’s exactly what Schwarzkopf’s SalonLab Smart Analyser did for me, and can do for you too.
