Scalp Health and Haircare Education Certification Program™ Enrollment

Become a DM Certified Scalp Health and Haircare Expert™!

The Scalp Health and Haircare Education Certification Program™ is an evidence-based continuing education program designed for licensed cosmetologists, trichologists, salon professionals, educators, and other beauty professionals who want a deeper scientific understanding of haircare.

If you've ever questioned why products work, wondered how ingredients actually interact with the hair fiber and scalp, or felt frustrated by conflicting information online, this program was built for you.

It's a comprehensive education in the science behind healthy hair, healthy scalps, and evidence-based haircare.
