TYPES OF HAIR AND SCALP DISORDERS
The most common problems we see can be broadly categorised into two groups: hair conditions and scalp disorders.
Some of these are shown below but each person can present differently and some conditions may look very similar so self diagnosis is not recommended. The best route to successful treatment is to book a consultation. The sooner you address a problem, the better and early help can mitigate future problems but please don’t feel it’s too late either. It is worth investigating the causes of hair loss and scalp problems at any stage.
Alternatively, if you already have a diagnosed hair or scalp condition, you may prefer to go straight to the TLC online shop where you can see what’s available for help at home.
