1.2 Lesson 2: What is a Trichologist? – Pay By Chapter

Trichologists are trained in the life sciences and they evaluate clients on the basis of personal history, lifestyle, genetic factors, and environmental conditions. With this information a Trichologist can suggest certain treatments for most conditions which affect the health and appearance of the hair and scalp. Nutritional advice and recommendations for behavioral modification can also be given, as healthy hair is closely linked to overall physical and psychological well being.
