What's new

NEW

• HairDiary now speaks Danish, Norwegian, Finnish, Dutch, Polish and Traditional Chinese
• Try your own log type and an experiment for free: the first of each doesn't need Pro
• A quicker start: log your first wash, toning or mask right at the end of the welcome screens

ALSO NEW

• The home screen lets you log your first entry in one tap
• We only ask for a rating once you've used HairDiary on a few days

NEW

• Your own log types: rosemary oil, scalp scrub or anything else, with its own card on the home screen and its own reminder (Pro)
• Experiments: try a product or a change for a few weeks and see what it did, compared with the weeks before (Pro)
• Ghost image in the camera: your last hair photo shows faintly, so every photo is taken the same way
• Timelapse: watch your hair grow photo by photo, and make a video to share (Pro)

ALSO NEW

• Scan a product's barcode, and HairDiary fills in what Open Beauty Facts knows
• Search the log for products, notes and toning formulas
• Choose a light or dark look in Settings, or let it follow your iPhone

• Closing the purchase screen without buying no longer shows an error message
• Small fixes to the anonymous usage statistics

NEW

• Daily treatment: a card and a reminder for things you do every day, like a spray against hair loss. Tick it off right in the notification
• Hair loss: note how much hair comes out on a simple scale, and see how it changes once you start a treatment
• Touch-ups between tonings: log a root spray or other temporary colour without restarting the toning's days

SMARTER INSIGHTS

• See the day after a wash that itch, grease or flat hair usually sets in, and when to wash to stay ahead of it
• Faded or brassy colour carries over to the next hair check until you tone again, so you only tick what's new today

ALSO NEW

• Tap a widget card to open that log straight away
• The widget's plus button and Siri now remember the products you usually use
• A new Siri page in Settings shows what you can say, in your language
• From your first log, the home screen shows what HairDiary is learning about your hair
• Photo captions save properly
• Anonymous usage statistics help us see what to improve. Nothing you log is included, and you can turn it off in Settings

The biggest update so far: heat styling, an overall rating with more ways to describe your hair, toning recipes and a Lock Screen timer, one-tap logging from the widget, notifications and Siri, and insights for everyone into how wash rhythm and heat affect your hair.

Smaller updates after launch: one combined notification when several things are due the same day, toning products shown in the log, a clearer subscription screen, and other fixes.

The first version of HairDiary: log washes, toning, masks, trims and salon visits, keep track of your hair length and photos, rate how your hair feels, and build streaks and badges along the way.
