Trichology in Practice

"Trichology in Practice " is a course that shows you how to incorporate trichological thinking into every salon visit—without needing to be a certified trichologist. Instead of academic theory, the course is based on a 25-point checklist that evaluates your daily habits: from the first interaction with the client, through work at the chair and the shampoo station, all the way to recommendations for at-home care. It’s a practical audit of your salon practice that transforms routine tasks into conscious actions that promote the health of the scalp and hair shaft.

Magdalena Koc guides you through 25 specific steps that incorporate trichology into every hair salon visit. The process is divided into five areas: from pre-visit communication, through the styling chair and shampoo station, to a discussion about hair care products and at-home care. Each point is a simple question that checks your habits—if you do something, you earn a point; if not, you get a ready-made solution to implement, so that every visit to your salon is complete and meaningful.

In this course, you'll learn:

• Why is it important to ask a new client about the condition of their scalp when they make an appointment, and how can you use that information to prepare for the visit?
• How to check the pH of hair dye using a meter that costs 200 zł, and why “nourishing hair color” isn’t always acidic
• Why is dandruff contagious, and how does disinfecting tools protect your next clients from Malassezia fungi?
• A practical approach to washing: one shampoo for the scalp, another for the hair shaft—and how to use up to four products in a single wash
• Controlling the temperature of the hair dryer (60 vs. 120 degrees) and how overheating the scalp leads to excess sebum production
• A ladder-style hair-brushing system—starting from the ends and working upward to prevent mechanical damage and breakage of the hair shaft
• Educating customers about pillowcase hygiene – washing at high temperatures and using vinegar instead of fabric softener

This isn’t a course for trichologists, but for conscientious hairstylists who want every visit to their salon to be more than just a service. After taking this course, you’ll start noticing details you previously overlooked—from the material of a client’s cap to the chemical composition of the toner—and turn them into concrete actions. In addition to a beautiful cut and color, your clients will receive comprehensive protection for their scalp and hair shaft, which will translate into their satisfaction and loyalty.
