What is Mannered Manes?

Mannered Manes is a comprehensive hair care platform for men that provides personalized product recommendations, community support, and expert guidance. We use AI-powered analysis to understand your unique hair type and needs, connecting you with the right products and routines for your hair goals.

How does the hair analysis work?

Our AI-powered hair analysis uses a series of detailed questions about your hair type, texture, density, porosity, and current concerns. Based on your responses, we create a personalized hair profile and provide customized recommendations for products, routines, and treatments that work best for your specific hair characteristics.

How do you choose which products to recommend?

Our product recommendations are based on: • Analysis of ingredients and their effectiveness for specific hair types • Reviews and feedback from our 50,000+ community members • Expert curation by professional stylists and trichologists • Performance data from users with similar hair profiles • Price-to-value ratio and availability

Are the recommended products suitable for all hair types?

Yes! Our platform caters to all hair types - from straight to coily (1A to 4C), and everything in between. We have a database of over 15,000 products specifically categorized by hair type compatibility, so you'll always find products that work for your unique hair characteristics.

How often should I wash my hair?

The ideal washing frequency depends on your hair type, scalp condition, and lifestyle. Generally: • Oily hair: Every 1-2 days • Normal hair: Every 2-3 days • Dry or curly hair: Every 3-7 days • Coily/kinky hair: Once a week or less Our personalized routine will provide specific recommendations based on your hair profile.

What's the difference between hair porosity levels?

Hair porosity refers to your hair's ability to absorb and retain moisture: • Low Porosity: Cuticles are tightly closed, making it hard for moisture to penetrate • Medium Porosity: Balanced moisture absorption and retention • High Porosity: Cuticles are open, hair absorbs moisture quickly but loses it just as fast Understanding your porosity helps choose the right products and techniques.

Is Mannered Manes free to use?

Yes! Basic features including hair analysis, community access, and product recommendations are completely free. We offer premium features like advanced tracking, personalized consultations, and exclusive content starting at $9.99/month, but they're optional.

Can I change my hair profile after creating it?

Absolutely! Your hair changes over time, and so should your profile. You can update your hair characteristics, goals, and preferences anytime in your account settings. We recommend updating your profile seasonally or whenever you notice significant changes in your hair.

What happens during a hair consultation?

They'll: • Analyze your hair and scalp condition • Review your current routine and products • Identify specific concerns and goals • Create a customized hair care plan • Provide product recommendations • Answer all your questions Consultations typically last 30-45 minutes.

How do I prepare for my consultation?

To get the most from your consultation: • Have your current products ready to show • Don't wash your hair for 24 hours before (so we can see its natural state) • Prepare a list of concerns and goals • Take photos of your hair in different lighting • Have a notepad ready for recommendations • Ensure good lighting and stable internet connection
