ON-LINE AND IN-PERSON ATTENDEES GAVE EXCELLENT FEEDBACK
The TRI Fundamentals of Hair Science and Hair Claims course ran on the 15th and 16th April, 2026 and was another great success! This intensive two-day event provided attendees with the knowledge in hair science and claims substantiation needed to succeed in the field through delivering materials related to hair structure and biology, hair product science, and the key measurement techniques used to test the performance of hair products and support hair claims. Talks were delivered by experts in the TRI Team and Dr Gill Westgate, a world-leading hair biologist.

The class of 2026
Over 174 delegates attended from 96 different companies around the world. Most joined on-line, as only 25 places were available to attend the event live at TRI. Live attendees were treated to an evening social event on the TRI garden terrace, and to a laboratory tour, including instrument demonstrations. Registrations for in person places sold out weeks before the course (if you would like to attend in person next year, make sure you register nice and early!)
