Following the success of our first two sessions — “Common Scalp Conditions – What Every Hairdresser Should Know” with Jacky van Driel, and “Supporting Clients Through Life’s Changes: Hormonal Hair Conditions” with Anneliese Hesse — we’re excited to bring you our third installment:
At Colourstart, we believe that understanding the science behind hair and scalp health helps every hair professional deliver more confident, informed care to clients. That’s why we created Colourstart Edge, a series of expert-led lectures available exclusively to Colourstart Passport subscribers, designed to strengthen you and your team.
With Charlotte Lucas, Functional Nutrition & Lifestyle Medicine Specialist
Duration: 60 minutes
In this new Colourstart Edge lecture, Charlotte Lucas explores how nutrition forms the foundation of healthy hair and scalp function — and how today’s dietary habits, medications, and lifestyle trends can disrupt that delicate balance.
Charlotte will cover:
This is a practical, evidence-informed session designed to give you new insights you can apply immediately in the salon — helping you better understand what your clients may be experiencing, and when a referral to a trichologist or nutrition professional might be appropriate.
Each Colourstart Edge lecture builds on the last, bringing together experts from different disciplines who share a common goal: supporting salon professionals to work smarter, with greater scientific confidence.
Jackie van Driel, Trichologist, opened the series with a foundational look at “Hair Loss Conditions Every Hairdresser Should Know About.” Her talk explored the visible signs, underlying causes, and client conversations that help hairdressers navigate hair loss compassionately and effectively.
Anneliese Hesse, Trichologist, followed with “Hormones: The Hidden Influencers of Hair Growth and Hair Loss.” Her lecture unpacked the complex hormonal shifts that can trigger or worsen hair changes — from thyroid function to menopause — and how understanding these patterns can deepen your professional insight.
Now, Charlotte Lucas takes the discussion further by exploring how nutrition underpins every aspect of hair and scalp health, linking back to the hormonal and physiological themes introduced in our earlier sessions.
This live 30-minute session with Charlotte Lucas is free for Colourstart Passport subscribers. You’ll also have the chance to ask questions during the Q&A and access the replay afterward through your Passport account.
