<span>Scalp problems may occur due to the miscellaneous factor, which includes genetics, stress, abuse and hair products. The conventional technique for scalp and hair treatment involves high operational cost and complicated diagnosis. Besides, it is becoming progressively important for the payer to investigate the value of new treatment selection in the management of a specific scalp problem. As they are generally expensive and inconvenient, there is an increasing need for an affordable and convenient way of monitoring scalp conditions. Thus, this paper presents a study of pre-trained classification of scalp conditions using image processing techniques. Initially, the scalp image went through the pre-processing such as image enhancement and greyscale conversion. Next, three features of color, texture, and shape were extracted from each input image, and stored in a Region of Interest (ROI) table. The knowledge of the values of the pre-trained features is used as a reference in the classification process subsequently. A technique of Support Vector Machine (SVM) is employed to classify the three types of scalp conditions which are alopecia areata (AA), dandruff and normal. A total of 120 images of the scalp conditions were tested. The classification of scalp conditions indicated a good performance of 85% accuracy. It is expected that the outcome of this study may automatically classify the scalp condition, and may assist the user on a selection of suitable treatment available.</span>
