“
I was so embarrassed about how thin my hair was becoming. Every time I brushed, loads of hair ended up coming out with it. It’s such an emotional subject and difficult to cope with. I wanted to know why I was losing my hair—and how to get it back! So I went back to school to study scalp issues and hair loss at The International Association of Trichology. And the UK's Institute of Trichologists.
Now, I’m a board-certified Trichologist, IAT, IoT, a specialist in the field, and I’ve been personally able to use what I learned, and my hair is healthy and full again. I am so excited to be able to share my knowledge with you.
