A crown hair loss tracker built around one repeatable view

The crown is hard to see and even harder to photograph the same way twice. Plume gives it a named view in every photo set and keeps each date easy to find.

Lighting, distance and camera angle can change how much scalp is visible in a crown photo.

How to match crown photos

A crown hair loss tracker should keep the crown view separate, dated and easy to repeat. Plume guides the Crown photo as part of every session and keeps it beside the Top and part and Hairline and temples views. You can compare two Crown photos side by side, with a slider, with a blend or with zoom and pan. Plume documents the photos. It does not measure crown density or diagnose hair loss.

How to compare crown photos.

Match the setup

A brighter light or a slightly higher phone can make more scalp visible. Repeat a few simple conditions so your photos are easier to compare.

  • Same room and light direction
  • Same phone angle and distance
  • Similar hair preparation and styling

Keep the context

Add a short note when something changes: a haircut, styling, your routine or the lighting. It stays with the date, alongside your Hairline, Top and Crown views.

Compare matching views

Choose two Crown entries and check the lighting and angle first. Then look side by side, or use the slider and zoom to take a closer look.

Questions about crown photo tracking.

How do I take consistent crown photos?

Repeat the room, light direction, phone orientation, camera distance and hair preparation when practical. Use the Plume Crown prompt each time.

Can Plume measure crown density?

No. Plume keeps dated Crown photos for manual review. It does not calculate density or hair count.

Can I compare only Crown photos?

Yes. Choose the Crown view from two dates and use side by side, slider, blend, zoom or pan.

Can a crown photo diagnose hair loss?

No. A photo documents appearance. Diagnosis and medical interpretation require a qualified clinician.
