Trichology: Science, Care, and Health of the Scalp

---

Trichology is much more than a hair trend: it is a specialized science that deeply studies the scalp and hair to diagnose and treat many conditions in a personalized way. Based on solid medical foundations, it combines scientific expertise and a holistic approach to restore scalp balance while improving the quality of life of people affected by hair disorders.

A discipline between science and well-being

Born in the 19th century in England, trichology was built at the crossroads of cosmetics, dermatology, endocrinology, and nutrition. It is interested not only in the appearance of hair but also in its biological origins and the deep causes of its imbalances.

Today, the trichologist is an expert trained to treat various pathologies, such as androgenic alopecia, alopecia areata, psoriasis, or excess sebum. Their approach is based on a complete analysis of the patient, which includes their lifestyle, medical history, and hair habits.

Thanks to this global vision, trichology allows for in-depth and long-term intervention, with targeted treatments that respect the physiology of the scalp.

The course of a trichological treatment

Consulting a trichologist is embarking on a real treatment journey. It all begins with an in-depth discussion, during which the professional gathers the necessary information to understand the disorders encountered. This is followed by a meticulous examination of the scalp using tools such as the trichoscope, which allows observing the condition of the hair follicles and assessing the overall health of the hair.

Based on this diagnosis, a personalized treatment protocol is established: it may include specific topical products, nutritional recommendations, or stress management advice. Regular follow-up is also provided, with progressive adjustments to ensure the effectiveness and durability of the treatment.

Finally, the trichologist also plays an educational role, by providing concrete tools to prevent recurrences and adopt respectful daily habits. Thus, trichology proves to be a valuable ally for all those who wish to regain a healthy scalp and healthy hair.

MakeMyMask: trichology at the heart of a hair revolution

Trichology is at the core of MakeMyMask's approach. Created by Julie Pernet, a Doctor of Pharmacy and certified trichologist, this dermo-capillary laboratory was born from the desire to provide natural, targeted, and scientifically based solutions for hair disorders. Noticing the lack of effective treatments in pharmacies, she trained in trichology to support people suffering physically and emotionally from scalp imbalances.

Thanks to TrichoActiv® technology, derived from this discipline, MakeMyMask offers a four-step protocol that acts directly on the microbiome and pH of the scalp.

This method relies on the use of highly concentrated therapeutic plants, combined with prebiotic care, to restore a healthy skin environment. Online diagnosis and specialized consultations reinforce the personalized approach. MakeMyMask thus embodies modern trichology: natural, effective, ethical, and deeply human.
