Consultation is an integral and one of the most important parts in any process. This not only gives you information regarding the process but also helps the physician to reach a diagnosis if possible and also provide optimal management option.

Once you enter Hair & Senses for your consultation, you are asked to fill a preliminary information form, which will have some questions regarding your medical history and regarding your hair.
