Plume review
A focused iPhone tracker for hair routines, photos, symptoms, and notes.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Plume is an iPhone app for keeping a dated record of hair-care routines, symptoms, notes, and progress photos. It is aimed at people who want to monitor their own hair and scalp routines over time, rather than salons or grooming businesses managing appointments. Users can mark routine actions done or skipped, track streaks, photograph selected areas, and compare images across dates. It does not diagnose hair loss or prescribe treatment.
The product’s strongest fit is its record-keeping around progress. Dated photo storage and comparison views give routine tracking a visual dimension, while symptom, side-effect, and note entries can add context to changes. Optional photo check-in notifications support a recurring review habit. Selected history can also be exported as a discussion aid for clinician visits. These tools make Plume more than a checklist, but they remain personal tracking features; the app is not a substitute for clinical assessment.
Plume is available on iOS and is offered as a free app with in-app purchases. The named paid options are Plume Pro Monthly and Plume Pro Annual, and both highlight progression photo check-ins, dated source-photo comparisons, and ongoing routine-based guidance. The published listing gives a starting price of 14.99, with prices potentially varying by storefront. Apple and Google sign-in are supported, and an optional AI-assisted educational companion uses routine context. Choose Plume if you want a hair-focused mobile record with photos, notes, and routine history. Look elsewhere if you need Android access, salon workflows, or appointment booking.
