The fundamentals of hair science and hair claims course is a rite of passage for many people entering the hair category.  The course takes place live each year in New Jersey, usually in April or May.  Live courses take place in a hybrid format, with both in person and on-line attendees, allowing for in-depth question-and-answer sessions with presenters and fun Kahoot! quizzes to test your knowledge.  In person attendees also enjoy networking with TRI staff, touring the TRI laboratories and receiving live demos of equipment.  Live courses are always refreshed each year as the science in this exciting area continues to develop.  

However, for those who need training immediately, we now offer a box set of recordings from the latest edition of the course in the TRI library all year round.  The 2024 course box set contains twelve 60-minute presentations from experts at TRI on: hair structure and biology, hair product science, measurement techniques, and claims substantiation.

This introductory course is designed for undergraduate and postgraduate level cosmetic scientists who need to build their knowledge in hair science and claim substantiation.

You can purchase access to the course at any time.  This will enable you to stream videos of the presentations and download the slides to study for a year.  It costs $250 to purchase access to the course box set, the same price as registration for the live on-line course.  Just go to the box sets section of the TRI Library to purchase your copy through a simple PayPal payment.  This course material is not freely accessible to Library subscribers, or to TRI Member Companies.

Discounts and free places are available for TRI Member Companies.  Discounts are also available for students – Contact us for further details.

The TRI hair course is an introductory course designed for graduate and post-graduate level cosmetic scientists who need to build their knowledge in hair science and claims substantiation.

Attendees should leave with an understanding of hair structure and biology, hair product science and the key measurement techniques used to test the performance of hair products and support hair claims.

All the course is given on-line and is available to attendees all around the world. Last year we had over 100 attendees, some joining us from as far away as South Africa, Australia and the Philippines.

However, now we are past the worst of the COVID pandemic, we can open our doors to visitors for one day of the course. Attendees based in the US, or wanting to travel to US, will be able to visit the TRI laboratories on Friday 26th April. Visitors can view Day 3 of the lectures in the morning in our Seminar Room on a big screen (i.e. as a hybrid meeting), have a lunch with the speakers, and then have live demos of hair testing methods in the afternoon. There is no extra charge for the laboratory visit, but please make us aware that you wish to attend when you complete your registration. For safety reasons, places must be limited to 25 external attendees. It will be first come, first served.

Pass Certificates will be available at the end of the course for attendees who pass an on-line, self assessment test. Attendance Certificates will be available to all attendees.

Registration costs $250. 10% Early-Bird discounts will apply until the end of February. Further, discounts are also available for groups and TRI Member Companies. To register for the course click here.

This year, for the first time, TRI will be awarding certificates for those successfully completing the course on Fundamentals of Hair Science and Hair Claims. An on-line test will be offered to all attendees at the end of the course, and certificates for ‘Successful Completion’ of the course will be awarded to those passing the test. We hope this will help attendees by providing hard evidence of their training and continuous professional development (CPD). Register for the course by clicking here.

The annual on-line TRI hair training course usually attracts over 100 attendees from around the world and is often seen as a rite of passage for many people coming into the hair category. The course this year will be split into two main parts. On Day 1 there will be an introduction to hair structure and biology and to hair product technologies. On Days 2 and 3 the course will focus on the various techniques used for hair product testing and how these are used to support marketing claims. All the training material will be given by TRI scientists with in-depth experience in the fields they will be speaking on. Presentations, updated each year, will give the latest technical developments in all of the subjects covered.

Each day will finish with a light-hearted Kahoot! quiz to help remind attendees of key learning points from the day. Winners of the quiz will be world hair science stars for one day!

The course costs $250 to join, but, as usual, there are free places for TRI Member Companies, Academic Discounts and Group Discounts. Contact us for more details.
