Trichology AB Hair Testing Package
HairKnowHow Testing Services are run and managed by Dr Jonathan Palmer.
Introducing our comprehensive AB Hair Testing Service Package, designed exclusively for the clinical trichology sector. This cutting-edge package from HairKnowHow tests fibres from two different locations of the scalp on a single patient using a combination of three essential trichology tests to provide invaluable insights into your client's hair health and empower you to offer personalised, effective haircare advice.
By comparing the results from two different areas of your patient's scalp hair (for example, an area of shortened or abnormal hair vs a "normal" area of scalp hair), these three tests can significantly assist in understanding the differences in the hair at these locations, helping you to find the root cause of the abnormality and tailor your client treatment plan accordingly.
The AB Hair Testing Package includes TWO of each of the following:
1. Cuticle Imaging Test: Reveal the secrets of your client's hair with our Hair Cuticle Imaging Test. We capture ten highly magnified, high-resolution images of the cuticle from different positions along multiple hair fibres. These images are a window into the overall health of your client's hair, enabling precise clinical diagnoses and continuous monitoring following any treatment.
Detect numerous cuticle damage indicators, including:
Heat damage
Abrasive damage from brushing, pulling and colouring processes
Discover the cuticle's health in minute detail
Including whether the cuticle is present at all
Detect the presence of many hair shaft disorders
2. Cortex Imaging Test: Our Hair Cortex Imaging Test offers unparalleled insight into your client's hair. We dissect and capture ten high-resolution images of the hair cortex, each from a different fibre. This information is crucial for assessing hair health porosity, diagnosing hair shaft disorders, or identifying underlying weaknesses within the fibre.
Identify the cause of increased breakage and loss of hair texture

3. Hair Porosity Test: Unlock the key to optimal hair health with our Hair Porosity Test. We carefully dissect the hair sample, revealing the cortex of ten individual fibres, and measure two vital porosity parameters. You'll receive the average hair porosity of these fibres and the percentage variance across different measured porosities. Additionally, we provide a high-magnification image of the hair cortex. Porosity is a pivotal metric influencing hair strength, colour, texture, and cortex structure, providing essential data for diagnosing increased hair shaft breakage resulting in hair shortening and perceived hair loss.
