The active growth phase.
The transition phase when growth stops.
The resting phase of the hair cycle.
The phase when hair is naturally shed.

Why study trichology?
Good hair care goes beyond choosing a shampoo or hair serum. Scalp condition, the environment around the hair follicles and an understanding of the factors that influence hair growth and quality all play an important role.
Knowledge of trichology helps beauty therapists, hairdressers and Head Spa professionals provide better-informed consultations, tailor cosmetic care and recognise situations that require medical assessment.
The Dr.Nek online course combines professional theory with practical principles for observing the scalp and helps you build your knowledge for professional cosmetic practice.
