AI Hair Analysis — Free, Instant, Personalized

Vi analyzes your hair type, texture, porosity, and damage level — then builds a routine that actually works. No generic quizzes. No guesswork. Real results in 60 seconds.

How Vi's hair analysis works

1. Tell Vi about your hair. Answer a few quick questions about your hair type, concerns, and goals. Vi factors in 14 personalization signals — from your hair texture and porosity to your local water hardness and climate.

2. Get a custom routine. Vi matches you to products from 50+ professional brands based on ingredient science, not marketing. Every recommendation is backed by formulation data and real customer results.

3. See results, not returns. Because Vi understands your hair at a deeper level, you get products that actually work — meaning fewer returns, less waste, and hair that finally cooperates.

What Vi analyzes

Hair type & texture — Straight, wavy, curly, or coily. Fine, medium, or coarse. Vi understands the full spectrum.

Porosity & damage level — How your hair absorbs and retains moisture determines which ingredients will actually penetrate and repair.

Scalp health — Oiliness, dryness, sensitivity, and buildup all affect which products will help vs. harm.

Environment — Your local humidity, water hardness, UV exposure, and climate directly impact how products perform.

Goals & history — What you've tried before, what worked, what didn't, and where you want to be.
