Trichologist Dr. Leola Anifowoshe-Brown, PhD
Founder & Chief Trichologist · Creator of Investigative Trichology™
Trichologist Dr. Leola Anifowoshe-Brown, PhD is the founder of Texas Hair Restoration & Wellness Center and the creator of Investigative Trichology™ — a holistic, non-medical approach to understanding hair and scalp concerns. Known publicly as The Hair Loss Detective™, she has spent her career translating complex hair and scalp science into language people can actually use.
Her work centers on education first. Rather than guessing at solutions, she investigates the contributing factors behind hair and scalp concerns and builds a personalized plan around what she finds — an approach summarized by the principle she is best known for: We Don't Guess — We Test™.
Through the Capillorum Institute™ she trains practitioners, and through HairInvestigations.com she publishes educational resources for patients, families, journalists and healthcare professionals seeking trustworthy, evidence-informed hair and scalp education.
