Hair Wellness Lab · CrownPrint™
Your hair is more than a curl type.
CrownPrint™ is a premium, science-informed assessment built for textured hair. It reads how your hair actually behaves — its porosity behavior, density, strand thickness, elasticity and scalp profile — alongside what it’s dealing with right now, your recent history, your environment, your own Crown Scan and your texture. Instead of one label from a curl chart, you get a multidimensional picture you can act on, and the full Intelligence Report that interprets it.

Or start with the free assessment: your porosity, density and strand read, and a starting routine direction. The Intelligence Report stays with the purchase.
The six modules
CrownPrint is multidimensional. Rather than assigning a single curl type, it combines six modules to describe your hair and what it needs today — then reviews them with you before generating anything.
CrownPrint™ Core
Your foundational hair characteristics — relatively stable over time.
CrownState™
What’s happening with your hair and scalp right now.
CrownHistory™
Relevant styling, treatment and hair-care history that may influence current behavior.
Environment
The climate, indoor air, water, sun and swimming your hair actually lives with.
Crown Scan
A guided look at your crown, edges and nape — described by you, not by a model.
Texture & Pattern
How your hair curls, clumps and shrinks — including when it differs by area.
Signals
These are self-reported behavioral signals — not laboratory measurements — combined into one picture.
Beyond the chart
Two people with nearly identical curl patterns can have very different porosity behavior, strand thickness, density, elasticity, scalp characteristics, treatment history and current hair states — and therefore very different needs.
Curl pattern is useful context. But on its own it can’t tell you how your hair holds moisture, how it handles manipulation, or what it needs this week. That’s what CrownPrint is for.
Hair science
Hair porosity describes how your hair fiber interacts with and moves water — how readily moisture enters and leaves the strand. It’s shaped by the condition and structure of the cuticle (the outer layer of overlapping scales) and the fiber beneath it, and it can be influenced by weathering, chemical processing, and heat or physical exposure over time.
Because CrownPrint is a consumer assessment rather than a laboratory measurement, we describe your result as a tendency — for example, “your responses are most consistent with lower-porosity behavior” — rather than an absolute fact. CrownPrint does not rely on the float test as a validated standalone measurement method; instead it looks at how your hair behaves across several everyday signals.
Porosity is not curl pattern
They describe different things — how hair behaves vs. how it looks.
Low ≠ healthy, high ≠ damaged
Lower porosity doesn’t automatically mean healthy hair, and higher porosity doesn’t automatically mean damaged hair.
It can vary across your head
Ends that have been colored, heat-styled or weathered may behave differently from newer growth.
History and condition matter
Recent treatments and your current condition affect porosity-related behavior.

Dynamic by design
Your CrownPrint is your foundation. Your current hair needs aren’t fixed. CrownState can shift with a protective-style install or removal, color or bleach, significant heat use, product buildup, new dryness, breakage or tangling, scalp changes, routine changes, and environmental factors where relevant.
Hair Wellness Lab recommends a CrownState check-in about once a month as a useful reassessment interval — or sooner whenever something meaningful changes. This is a product check-in cadence, not a claim that everyone’s hair biologically changes every 30 days. Refreshing your CrownState is part of what you already bought — there is no extra charge for it.
Protective styles
CrownState can account for braids, knotless braids, box braids, twists, cornrows, crochet, wigs, sew-ins, locs and other protective styles — and the stage you’re in. Care priorities often differ across the life of a style:
Prep
Setting your hair up before the style goes in.
Install
The first days of a fresh install.
Maintain
Keeping scalp and hair comfortable during wear.
Recover
Gentle takedown, detangling and reset afterward.
One purchase, everything included
CrownPrint is a single one-time purchase. There is no subscription, no tier above it, and nothing held back for a second payment — the Intelligence Report is part of what you buy.
The assessment
CrownPrint Intelligence Report™
Included — no second charge
One-time purchase. No subscription. Your CrownPrint and report live in your account, so you never need an old email or a saved link to find them again.
Beyond a label
CrownPrint goes further than “you have low-porosity hair.” The report walks a clear path, without exposing proprietary scoring:
Credibility
CrownPrint is science-informed, not a medical test. Its educational concepts and rules draw on verified hair-fiber, cosmetic-science and dermatology literature. That literature supports the concepts CrownPrint teaches — it does not mean the CrownPrint questionnaire itself is clinically validated.
CrownPrint™ is a science-informed consumer hair wellness assessment. It is not a medical test, diagnostic service or laboratory hair analysis. Results are based on user-provided information and available assessment data. Disclaimer · Terms · Privacy

The complete CrownPrint takes about fifteen minutes, saves as you go, and ends with your full Intelligence Report.
