How to upload your first progress photo

Step-by-step guide to taking and uploading your baseline progress photo in Rituala — the starting point for tracking real hair change over time.

Written by Support

Photo is a Journey feature. It is not part of the free first routine. Journey is $10/month with a 7-day free trial, or $59/year.

Progress photos help you see change that’s easy to miss day to day.

This is educational, not medical.

Where to add a photo

Open the Rituala app on your phone. Photo lives with Journey. Look for progress or photo.

If you only wanted your first routine and a payment screen is blocking that, that is not expected. See I’m being asked to pay — but I expected free access.

Tips for a baseline

Consistency matters more than a perfect shot.

  • Take it on wash day or the day after

  • Use natural light near a window, or the same indoor light each time. Avoid flash.

  • Same angles — front, sides, and crown are the most useful

  • Wet or dry: pick one and keep it. Dry is usually easier to compare

Adding the photo

  1. Open Journey photo / progress in the Rituala app.

  2. Add a photo from your library, or take one now.

  3. Add a short note if you want — “Day 1, dry and frizzy at the ends” is more useful than a vague line.

  4. Save. That’s the baseline.

What happens next

That first photo is the comparison point. Check in weekly with the same light and angle. Look at the 4-week trend, not day-to-day.

Starter is no longer sold. There is no upgrade-from-Starter path.
