Little Novaé · Hair & Scalp Assessment

Understand their scalp. Understand their hair. Know how to care for both.

£90

45–60 minutes

Children's hair and scalp needs can vary considerably by texture, routine, styling practices and scalp condition.

Rather than choosing products or treatments by guesswork, Little Novaé begins with an individual assessment.

Our Hair & Scalp Assessment combines consultation, digital scalp imaging and professional review to help parents better understand their child's hair and build an appropriate routine at home.

What's included

Inside the assessment

01

Parent + child consultation

We discuss the child's hair and scalp concerns, current routine, washing frequency, products, styling practices, protective styles and relevant history.

02

Digital hair & scalp analysis

Using magnified digital scalp imaging, we examine multiple areas of the scalp and hair. Where supported by the analysis system, findings may include:

  • —Scalp oil / sebum
  • —Scalp sensitivity
  • —Scaling / dandruff
  • —Follicular build-up
  • —Hair density
  • —Hair thickness

These measurements are observations recorded during the appointment. They are not medical diagnoses.

03

Multi-area scalp imaging

Images are captured and reviewed from different areas of the scalp where appropriate, so findings can be discussed and revisited.

04

Professional interpretation

Technology can show us patterns and measurements. The important part is understanding what those findings mean for your child's individual hair and scalp. Results are reviewed alongside the consultation, scalp images, hair texture, routine and concerns before recommendations are made.

05

Personalised home-care direction

Parents receive practical guidance covering relevant areas such as:

  • —Washing frequency
  • —Scalp cleansing
  • —Moisture and conditioning
  • —Detangling
  • —Styling practices
  • —Protective styles
  • —Product selection
  • —Satin and silk protection
  • —Habits that may contribute to breakage or scalp discomfort

Recommendations always depend on the individual assessment.

06

Complimentary Little Novaé digital guide

Every assessment includes one Little Novaé educational guide matched to your child's hair — My Straight Hair, My Wavy & Curly Hair or My 4C Hair.

Questions

Before you begin

Assessments are available for children of all ages and are adapted to the child's age, needs and comfort. The Little Novaé digital hair guides are written for children aged 6+ and are not intended for babies.

That's completely fine. Appointments are kept calm and unhurried, with time for your child to settle in. Nothing is forced, a parent stays in the room throughout, and we can pause whenever they need.

No. The assessment exists to help you understand your child's hair and scalp. You leave with personalised home-care direction and your guide. Where findings suggest medical assessment is appropriate, we will advise you accordingly.
