Trichology is the study of the hair and scalp and focuses on identifying the causes of hair thinning, shedding, alopecia, and scalp conditions. This approach looks beyond surface symptoms to understand contributing factors such as scalp health, stress, deficiencies, hormonal shifts, autoimmune conditions, and lifestyle influences.
