What is Trichology?

 

Trichology, the study of the health of your hair and scalp, allows us to better determine the causes of hair fallout, hair breakage, and hair thinning, especially in relation to the scalp. It is through Trichology that we learn how to strengthen your existing hair and scalp and prevent against hair thinning or loss in the future.

Many times people solely focus on taking better care of their hair to have better quality hair or to maintain their hair for as long as possible. While taking care of your hair is very important, it is of equal, if not greater, importance to take care of your scalp.

To better understand this crucial concept, imagine your scalp and hair like a forest of trees. If you want to have beautiful and healthy “trees,” you must take care of the land where they grow and eat. This means providing the proper nourishment and eliminating any pathogens. Our hair acts the same way – by making sure that your scalp has the proper nourishment to eliminate any scalp problems, you are allowing your hair to be healthy. A healthy scalp equals healthier hair!
