Trichology

Trichology is the study of the hair and scalp.[1] The term derives from Ancient Greek θρίξ (thríx), "hair"[2] and -λογία -logia. In most jurisdictions, it is considered a para-medical discipline.[3]

The Institute of Trichologists was founded in 1902.[4] [5] The first journal for the field, International Journal of Trichology, was founded in 2009.[6]
