It is the first medical book to be edited and co-authored by a trichologist. Importantly, it places contributions from fellow trichologists alongside those of dermatologists, biologists, surgeons, scientists and other healthcare professionals, recognising the value of multidisciplinary knowledge in understanding hair and scalp health.

Using an accessible question-and-answer format, the book provides clear, evidence-based answers to some of the most common and frequently misunderstood questions about hair loss, scalp health, hair care and treatment. It was created to bridge the gap between scientific research, clinical practice and the everyday concerns encountered by practitioners and their patients.

The 220-page book includes illustrations, tables, flowcharts, key-point summaries making it suitable both as a professional reference and as an accessible guide for anyone wishing to better understand the science of hair.
