Weekly Crown Check-In
Five minutes a week. A full year of hair insight.
What It Is
The Weekly Crown Check-In is a brief, structured logging tool that captures a snapshot of your hair and scalp condition each week. By consistently logging a small set of standardized observations — moisture level, scalp condition, breakage observed, style worn, and products used — you build a rich, searchable dataset over time that reveals patterns invisible in any single week's data.
What It Measures
- Weekly hair moisture level on a standardized scale from very dry to well-moisturized
- Scalp condition including any symptoms present: itching, flaking, tenderness, or bumps
- Breakage volume observed during the week: low, moderate, or high
- Style worn and estimated tension level
- Products used and any changes from the previous week
- General hair feel and performance rating for the week
Why It Matters
Hair health changes slowly, and the changes that matter most — a gradual increase in breakage, a slowly worsening scalp condition, a drift toward chronic dryness — are nearly impossible to perceive in real time without a reference point. The Weekly Crown Check-In creates that reference point every week, so that when you look back at 12 weeks of data, you can see exactly when a condition began worsening, what changed in the week before it started, and whether an intervention is actually working. Five minutes of logging per week compounds into one of the most powerful hair health tools available.
Who It's For
- Women who want to build a data-driven hair care practice without spending significant time on tracking
- Anyone who has tried many products and routines without being able to identify what made the difference
- Women in active recovery from damage who want to monitor their progress week by week
- Anyone feeding data into the Crown Score Tracker or Ultimate Crown Report who wants rich underlying data
How To Use It
- Set a recurring weekly reminder — wash day or the day after — to complete your check-in
- Answer each of the six standardized questions based on your observations from the current week
- Add any freeform notes about observations that do not fit the standardized questions
- Review the past four weeks of check-ins monthly to identify any emerging patterns
- Use the check-in data to inform your Crown Score assessment and Ultimate Crown Report
