Trichology

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Trichology is the branch of medicine that deals with the scientific study of the health of hair and scalp. Trichologists themselves are not normally medically qualified although members of the medical profession can undertake courses and/or careers within trichology. Trichology can be used in forensic studies of hairs to find suspects. Forensic trichology can determine the approx. age, body mass, race, and other important traits of the hairs owner.
