Starting from the top of the little graph:

立ち上げ = the stand up (or maybe 'stand up-iness', as in how well it stands up)
毛束のつくりやすさ = how easy bundles/tufts of hair stick together
ふんわり = fluffiness
流す・まとめる = I think they're trying to say how runny it is. Not sure.
ツヤ = shine
キープカ = How well it holds or keeps. This word has another meaning too, coming from the Hawaiian language meaning 'an oasis of undisturbed land within a lava field'. I doubt the average Japanese would understand either meaning.

おすすめの髪の長さ = recommended length of hair
The bottom line says, from left to right, "very short", "short", "average length", "above average length"

Hope this helps.
