First Impressions and Onboarding
Upon visiting the MyHair.ai website, I was greeted with a clean, modern interface. The homepage immediately prompts you to start a hair analysis by uploading a photo or using the app. I clicked “Start Hair Analysis” and was asked to take a selfie-style photo of my hairline. The AI then processed the image and returned a numeric hairline shift—in my test it showed “-12.4 mm”. That metric, combined with a visual map of the hairline, gave me an objective baseline I had never seen before.
The onboarding flow is streamlined: after the scan, a brief questionnaire appears with questions like “Are you losing hair?” and “How often do you wash your hair?”. I answered honestly. The entire process felt intuitive, though I noticed the web version requires good lighting for accurate results. The app version (available on iOS and Android) promises more consistent scanning due to camera control.
AI Analysis and Personalization
MyHair.ai uses computer vision to estimate hair count, density, and dryness. My results showed 107,654 hairs, a “Medium” density, and “Normal” dryness. While I cannot verify the exact count, the relative changes over time would be valuable for tracking. The tool then generated a personalized treatment plan, including product recommendations and a timeline. I appreciated that it partnered with clinics like Clinique des Champs-Élysées in Paris, adding medical credibility.
One standout feature is the ability to scan existing hair products and get ratings—something I tested by uploading a bottle of my shampoo. The AI gave it a 7/10 and suggested alternatives. This is a real differentiator compared to competitors like Hairguard or Keeps, which focus only on selling their own brands. However, the analysis seemed less accurate for finer hair textures; a reviewer with protective styles noted the app could not scan braids effectively.
Pricing and Limitations
Pricing is not publicly listed on the website beyond “Free Plan” and “Premium Plan”. The free tier gives limited analyses and generic recommendations; the premium unlocks unlimited scans and detailed insights. I found the free plan sufficient for a single assessment, but ongoing tracking would require upgrading. One limitation: the AI currently struggles with curly, coily, or braided hair—several user testimonials echoed this, including one in Portuguese who wanted more options for curly hair. Additionally, the web version can be slow to process images, as noted by a user who said “it sometimes takes a bit to process images.”
Privacy is handled well: the FAQ clearly states no face images are stored, which is reassuring for medical-grade analysis. However, the tool is heavily skewed toward male pattern baldness detection; female hair loss metrics (like part width) are less emphasized.
Final Verdict
MyHair.ai is a practical AI tool for anyone noticing early signs of hair thinning and wanting data-driven product recommendations. Its clinic network and product-scanning feature set it apart from generic hair apps. However, users with textured hair or those seeking a fully free solution may feel underserved. For best results, pair the app with a dermatologist’s opinion. I recommend trying the free scan first—it takes only a minute and provides eye-opening metrics.
