Hey everyone,

I wanted to share something I've been working on for months. Like a lot of people here, I used to find myself constantly switching products, losing track of my routine consistency, and just guessing whether my hair was actually making progress or if it was just a placebo effect.
I couldn't find a clean, dedicated app built for tracking analytics, routines, and specific milestones—so I spent my late nights building one myself.
It's called StrandLab, and it officially launched on the iOS App Store today.
I wanted to make sure it was fully inclusive of our community's specific hair journeys, so I built dedicated tracking support for:
🌊 Waves: Tracking progress and brush sessions across all patterns (180, 360, 540, 720).
🔒 Locs & Natural Hair: Logging maturation stages and tracking the timeline cleanly. All hair types included
🛡️** Protective Styles**: Keeping tabs on timelines for braids, twists, and extensions.
📊 Product/Routine Analytics: Seeing what products you were actually consistent with when you saw the best growth.
If you're looking for a better way to stay consistent and take the guesswork out of your journey, I'd honestly love for you to check it out.
📲 You can grab it on iOS here:

For the Android family in here—the Play Store version is locked in for early June, but you can check out the landing page at strandlabapp.com to stay updated.

I'm a solo developer, so I'm completely open to any feedback, feature requests, or critiques from the community. Let me know what you think!

Hey guys,
Consistency is literally the #1 rule for hair growth, but keeping up with wash days, deep conditioning, and tracking which products actually work is a massive headache.
I built an app called StrandLab to completely solve this. It’s a dedicated hair growth and routine tracker built for everyone from type 1a-4c, locs, waves-180,360,540,720 and everything in between. It officially drops tomorrow on iOS (and June 1st on Android). No bloated fitness metrics—just pure hair health tracking, calendar logs, and progress visualizers designed to help you stay disciplined.
As a solo indie founder, I’m building this purely based on what the community actually needs. Check out @strandlabapp on socials, look out for it on the App Store tomorrow, and let me know: What features should I add to the roadmap next?
