The definition of Trichology is ‘the science and study of scalp and hair in health and disease’.

Many trichologists adopt a holistic approach, working to enhance overall health, which naturally leads to improvements in hair loss and scalp health. This method is often the most effective for treating hair and scalp conditions. It may require the patient to be open to making changes in their lifestyle, habits, diet, and personal health.

Although not medical professionals, trichologists study anatomy and physiology of the human body with a particular focus on the scalp. Hair is often seen as an indicator of health, so a comprehensive understanding of the body is vital.
