Kate Holohan W/ Marta Teixeira Season 9 Episode 5

Understanding the science behind trichology & haircare using research & clinical reviews

Marta Teixeira is a clinical trichologist who has conducted clinical reviews and has published two articles.

In school, her hair made her a target for bullies, as it was big and curly, and even at the age of 14, she began to straighten and chemically relax it to fit in. She found over time that her hair became very damaged ad began to break off, which led to her having to change her haircare practices and begin to embrace her natural texture.
She began to take an interest in hair care and created an Instagram account to help others learn how to care for their curls.

She began to take an interest in hair science, which has led to her conducting extensive research on various papers and topics, including the science behind curly hair, and diagnosis using trichoscopy.

Marta shares tips on preparing to compile a clinical study if you would like to consider getting work published, and also the importance of regulation in the industry and finding the right practitioner for the right advice.
