Master hair & scalp science: Follicles, growth cycles, thinning & microbiome balance in one 50-min L'Oréal Masterclass.
This comprehensive program, developed with L’Oréal Advanced Research, provides a deep scientific dive into the biology of the hair and scalp. From the microscopic origins of the follicle to the complexities of the microbiome, you will master the fundamental mechanisms that govern hair growth, density, and scalp health.
PREREQUISITES
Designed for learners seeking a scientific understanding of hair biology. Basic knowledge of scalp anatomy is recommended.
COURSE DETAILS
•Total Duration: 50 minutes
•Level: Fundamentals
•Structure: 4 Specialized Chapters
•Chapter 1: Hair Follicle Structure | The Origins (10 min): Anatomy of the follicle, tissue interaction, and the regulatory role of the dermal papilla and microcirculation.
•Chapter 2: Hair Growth Cycle | Hair (20 min): The biological phases of growth, keratinocyte proliferation, and the structural organization of the cuticle and cortex.
•Chapter 3: Hair Thinning Causes | Follicular Imbalance (10 min): Mechanisms of miniaturization, stem cell inactivity, and the transition from terminal to vellus hair.
•Chapter 4: Scalp Microbiome Balance | Biological Regulation (10 min): Scalp barrier function, the hydrolipidic film, and the role of Malassezia in dandruff formation.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
By completing this training, you will:
•Describe the anatomical positioning and vascularization of the hair follicle.
•Explain the phases of the hair growth cycle and how keratin forms the hair shaft.
•Identify the biological factors leading to follicle miniaturization and density reduction.
•Understand the scalp’s barrier integrity and the mechanisms behind microbiome imbalance.
SKILLS COVERED
•Analyzing hair and scalp structures at a biological level.
•Interpreting cellular activity and tissue cooperation.
•Explaining the progressive mechanisms of hair thinning.
•Identifying visible signs of scalp disorders and barrier dysfunction.
DEVELOPED WITH
The scientific expertise of L’Oréal Advanced Research, ensuring alignment with current biological understanding and follicular regulation.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
•Hairdressers and salon professionals seeking deeper scientific insights to address growth and scalp concerns.
•Educators teaching hair science and biological foundations.
•Learners at any stage wanting to master the science of hair development.
WHY TAKE THIS COURSE?
Mastering the biology "inside" the hair and scalp is essential for professional excellence. This training allows you to:
•Strengthen Scientific Knowledge: Move beyond the surface to understand biological causes.
•Improve Diagnostic Accuracy: Better interpret hair behavior, density changes, and scalp imbalances.
•Enhance Consultations: Provide clients with precise, science-based advice and solutions.
