Trichology: The “CPR” of Hair Loss

Interview with Emmanuel Paul, Trichology Specialist

Today I am excited to bring you an interview with Trichology Specialist Emmanuel Paul, in which we discuss the science of trichology.  Trichology is the study of the hair and scalp – and we all know that a healthy scalp is the basis for a healthy head of hair. Therefore, it’s important for you, a salon professional, to build a relationship with a center near you that specializes in trichology so you can provide holistic treatment for hair thinning and loss.

Hair thinning and loss causes many women and men to go down a painful path. It can lead to low self-esteem, lack of self-confidence, and social isolation. If your clients are experiencing hair thinning and loss, you’ve witnessed these detrimental feelings. Your clients have probably tried all of the tricks – like wearing hats, styling their hair in a particular way, using specialty shampoo to hide or prevent your hair thinning, but the results haven’t changed.
