WHY CARMEN BECAME A TRICHOLOGIST
From working with hair to understanding why it changes.
After many years in the hair industry, Carmen became increasingly interested in the reasons behind hair loss and scalp concerns. She saw how often people tried supplements, shampoos, oils and online recommendations without knowing what type of hair loss they were experiencing.
Her interest in trichology grew from seeing how deeply hair loss can affect confidence and self-image, and how valuable it is to offer a structured, educational and individual approach.
Carmen’s guiding belief: what helped somebody else may not be right for you. The first step is understanding what is actually happening.
CARMEN’S APPROACH
Thorough, supportive and designed to make things clearer.
Carmen looks beyond the surface and considers the factors that can influence hair growth and scalp health before recommending suitable next steps.
1
Listen to the full story
When the concern began, how it has changed, possible triggers and how it is affecting you.
2
Consider the wider context
Health history, hormones, stress, nutrition, medication, supplements, hair care and relevant blood results.
3
Assess the scalp and hair
Visible pattern, density, scalp signs, hair-shaft changes and trichoscopy where appropriate.
4
Explain realistic next steps
Practical guidance, monitoring, further testing discussion or medical referral without overpromising.
CONCERNS CARMEN COMMONLY ASSESSES
You do not need to know what to call it before you book.
Many clients arrive knowing only that something has changed. Carmen helps distinguish the visible pattern and possible contributing factors.
1
Hair shedding
Increased or prolonged shedding, including possible telogen effluvium after stress, illness, surgery, weight change or another trigger.
4
Hair-cycle and density changes around perimenopause and menopause, including overlapping shedding or pattern thinning.
2
Widening part lines, reduced density, gradual thinning, postpartum changes and other female hair-loss concerns.
3
Receding hairlines, crown changes, diffuse thinning, shedding and visible pattern-hair-loss features.
5
Itching, flaking, redness, oiliness, scaling, tenderness, dandruff-like symptoms and inflammation.
6
Localised loss, hair breakage, difficult-to-explain density changes and visible signs that may require medical input.
PROFESSIONAL SCOPE
Clear guidance includes knowing when to refer.
Carmen assesses hair and scalp concerns and identifies visible findings or patterns that may need further investigation. Trichoscopy supports this process, but it does not replace medical diagnosis. Where testing, diagnosis or prescription treatment is required, Carmen can guide you toward your GP or another appropriate healthcare professional.
