Trichology is the science of the hair and scalp, both in health and disease. The starting point for successful treatment is an accurate diagnosis. Once this has been established through an initial consultation, I can offer professional advice and treatments for a wide range of hair and scalp problems, as well as guidance on general hair care. Whether you think your complaint is cosmetic or more m

edically based, I can offer my expert opinion as to the best way to treat this. After 21 years of practising Trichology, as a Consultant Trichologist I can completely appreciate how much of an impact these conditions have on your confidence and quality of life.

Because PMOS can easily trigger or overlap with genetic female pattern hair loss, buying off-the-shelf products usually leads to disappointment.

You need to know what’s actually happening underneath the surface first. Identifying the right trigger is the first step toward restoring hair and scalp health.

At Shuna Hammocks Trichology, Shuna Hammocks, as a consultant trichologist, helps you uncover the root cause and build a clear, targeted plan.

Female hair loss doesn’t look like male hair loss.

And treating it the same way fails.

If your central parting is widening, here’s what’s actually happening:

• The Cause: Follicles on top are sensitive to normal androgen levels.

• The Effect: Hair strands grow progressively finer and shorter over time.

• The Goal: Catching it early (Stage 1 or 2) gives you the best chance to protect density.

Early action makes all the difference.

Losing your hair during cancer treatment touches your identity, confidence, and sense of control.

Understanding what’s happening makes the journey a little easier:

- Chemotherapy shedding starts within 2–3 weeks, but regrowth happens in 99.9% of cases.
- Radiotherapy only affects the specific area treated by the beam.
- Temporary texture or colour changes ("chemo curls") are completely normal as hair returns.

Your scalp needs gentle care during treatments, and time to rest before starting recovery.

The UK heatwave is doing more than just draining your energy.

It’s literally baking your hair.

Most people remember SPF (Sun Protection Factor) for their skin but leave their hair completely unprotected in this direct sun.

The result? Porous strands and Fragilitas Crinium (severe split ends).

I’ve mapped out 5 quick, clinical rules to shield your hair from UV burning and heat damage this week.

Your scalp cells are turning over too fast. Instead of shedding, they are building up into thick, silver-white plaques that itch, burn, and flake.

If you’ve been treating it as "severe dandruff," you are likely making it worse. Scalp Psoriasis is an internal immune response, not a hygiene issue.

So, what's the real risk?

Sudden patchy hair loss? It is not your fault.

Alopecia Areata can affect anyone, adults and children alike. When patches appear, it is incredibly frightening, but remember: it is not contagious, and it is never a reflection of your hair hygiene.

At my Forest Row clinic, I see patients from across Sussex, Kent, and Surrey who are otherwise perfectly well.

Let's step away from the panic and look at what your immune system is responding to.

Is a lack of protein causing your hair to snap and shed?

If your hair is suddenly looking thin, brittle, or just won't grow past a certain length, a "miracle" shampoo isn't going to save it.

Your hair shaft is 80% keratin (a protein). When your diet drops below what your body needs, your vital organs get first priority.

Your hair follicles get completely starved, causing diffuse thinning and heavy shedding.

When you start losing your hair, who do you actually book? A Trichologist or a Dermatologist?

Most people guess, book the wrong one, and waste months.

Dermatologists are medical skin doctors. See them for suspicious scalp moles, painful cysts, or biopsies.

Trichologists are dedicated hair and scalp scientists. See us for gradual thinning, wide partings, heavy shedding, or stubborn dandruff.

I've mapped out a quick cheat sheet showing exactly who to see for your specific symptoms.
