The Trichological Society (TTS) is an independent, autonomous, professional body with an international reputation for excellence in the science of hair and scalp.
Our Mission
Founded on the principles of orthodox hair science, TTS is dedicated to advancing the discipline of trichology through rigorous academic standards and evidence-based practice. For over 25 years, the Society has provided academic-standard distance learning courses to dedicated students from both medical and non-medical backgrounds across the globe.
At its core, the Society exists to promote and uphold the highest standards of professional practice within trichology — a commitment rooted in sound science and a deep respect for the discipline's clinical foundations.
Uniting Professionals Worldwide
TTS aims to bring together the diverse range of professions involved with human hair in health, disease, and distressed conditions. From dermatologists and endocrinologists to specialist hair practitioners, the Society serves as a unifying body for those committed to evidence-based hair science.
The growing worldwide membership includes respected academics, researchers, and clinicians working at the forefront of orthodox hair sciences — a community that continues to expand as the field gains recognition on the international stage.

“I have also observed that the faculty and examiners associated with the program maintain high levels of professional competence and integrity. The expectations set for assessment and progression are in line with what one would expect from a credible academic body, and certainly not arbitrary or loosely governed.
Dr Akshay Batra, Padma Shri
