Waves aren't luck. They're a month you can see — if you show up every day. Crowned is the brush timer and routine tracker built for that. GUIDED BRUSH SESSIONS Pick soft, medium, or hard, set your time, and follow the dial through all eight angles from the crown out. The session tells you where to brush and when to move on, so every stroke goes toward the pattern. Sounds, haptics, and keep-awake are yours to toggle. THE HABIT Home shows your day at a glance: brushes done, durag on, wash day coming up. A calendar strip keeps the tally, and reminders for morning brush, evening brush, durag, and wash day fire on your schedule. THE WOLF Log your last cut, set a goal, and Crowned counts the days. Guides walk you through every phase, from fresh growth to the itch to the reveal, so you know what's normal and what's next. PROGRESS YOU CAN SEE Take a progress shot from the same angles each week. Slide before against after, build a timelapse of the whole wolf, and watch your streaks, badges, and 31-day habit grid fill in. YOUR KIT Track the pomade, oils, and brushes you actually use, and log what went on your head each day. GUIDES THAT RESPECT YOUR HAIR Find your crown. Know your texture, from straight to coily. Pick the right brush for the week you're in. Learn the brushing angles for 180s, 360s, 540s, and 720s. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No ads. No analytics. Your sessions, photos, and streaks stay on your iPhone. Keep the streak. Keep the spin.
