What is a hair doctor called?

A doctor who specializes in diseases of the hair or scalp is known as a trichologist. Trichology is a branch of dermatology, which deals with the skin. Some dermatologists, who have a particular interest in diseases of the hair or scalp, may specialize in trichology. When choosing a doctor to treat a condition of the hair or scalp, it may be important to decide the root cause of the problem. For example, if the cause is thought to be hormonal, which hair loss often is, a person may be better suited to see an endocrinologist.
