Trichology in Practice

Trichology in Practice is a course that shows you how to weave trichological thinking into every salon visit - without needing to be a qualified trichologist. Instead of academic theory, the course is built around a 25-point checklist that audits your daily habits: from the first contact with the client, through work in the chair and at the basin, all the way to home care recommendations. It's a practical audit of your craft that turns routine tasks into intentional actions for the health of the scalp and hair shaft.

Magdalena Koc walks you through 25 concrete points where trichology is hidden in every hairdressing visit. The process is split into five areas: from pre-visit contact, through work behind the chair and at the basin, to product conversations and home education. Each point is a simple question that checks your habits - if you're already doing it, you score a point; if not, you get a ready-to-use solution to implement, so every visit at your salon is complete and substantive.

In this course you'll see

• Why it's worth asking a new client about the state of their scalp right at booking, and how to prepare for the visit based on that information
• How to check toner pH with a $50 meter, and why "nourishing color" isn't always acidic
• Why dandruff is contagious and how disinfecting tools protects your next clients from Malassezia fungi
• A practical split in washing: one shampoo for the scalp, another for the hair shaft - and when to use up to four products in a single wash
• Controlling dryer temperature (60 vs 120 degrees) and how overheating the scalp leads to overproduction of sebum
• The ladder detangling system - working from the ends upward to avoid mechanical damage and shaft breakage
• Educating clients on pillowcase hygiene - washing at high temperature and using vinegar instead of fabric softener

This isn't a course for trichologists - it's for intentional hairdressers who want every visit at their salon to be more than just a service. After watching this course, you'll start noticing details that used to slip by - from the fabric of a client's cap to the chemical makeup of a toner - and turn them into concrete actions. Beyond a beautiful cut and color, your clients will get full protection for their scalp and hair shaft, which translates into their satisfaction and loyalty.
