What started as a husband's joke about alerting his wife to "hair night" just became the solution millions have been waiting for. In this episode of Lead with AI, Dr. Tamara Nall interviews Tori Elstrom, founder of SmartHair, who built an AI app that analyzes your hair's health, porosity, and density from a single selfie in under 60 seconds. After his wife followed an AI-generated routine for just one month, her hair had never looked healthier, sparking friends to beg for access and pushing Elstrom to turn his hackathon project into a real solution. Unlike other apps that bombard users with 45-minute questionnaires before pushing expensive products, SmartHair gives instant, personalized routines without affiliate link manipulation. Elstrom reveals how he tackled AI's racial bias problem in hair analysis and shares his vision for a mental health version that helps people who struggle to maintain basic self-care routines. For anyone tired of spending hundreds on products that don't work, this episode shows how one photo could transform your entire hair care approach.
