Why are strand tests performed?

While improving texture can be a goal of certain hair treatments, strand tests primarily focus on evaluating the final result rather than directly enhancing texture. The test helps determine how the hair will respond to products, which may indirectly influence texture but is not the primary purpose of the test.

Elasticity may be a characteristic assessed during a strand test, but the main function of the test is to predict the overall outcome of a treatment. Improving elasticity is not the focus; rather, strand tests provide insights into how the hair will behave during and after the treatment process.

Identifying sensitivity is a crucial part of hair care, especially for clients with allergies or sensitivities to certain ingredients. However, the strand test is not solely aimed at sensitivity detection; it primarily evaluates how the hair will respond to treatments, which encompasses but is not limited to sensitivity issues.
