Trace Element Analysis

Meaning ❉ Trace Element Analysis, within the gentle realm of textured hair understanding, involves a meticulous examination of the minuscule mineral and metal presences found within individual hair strands. This quiet observation provides a subtle, yet potent, understanding of the body’s internal workings and how they support the distinct journey of coils, curls, and waves.

This gently systematizes care principles based on what the hair truly needs, moving beyond guesswork. It transforms the often-complex world of hair growth into a clearer, more predictable process, allowing for practical adjustments that truly align with one’s unique hair heritage.
