Why Eva developed Tricoextra
As a clinical Trichologist, Eva’s passion is helping everyone achieve healthy hair and a well-balanced scalp. In order to be able to do this, we have to provide the right balance and level of vitamins and minerals to feed our hair and scalp from within. This is exactly why Eva developed Tricoextra.
Following 4 years of working with this supplement and seeing the amazing results time after time, Eva decided to take the step of making it available via a network of specially trained hair professionals, and of course her own clinics.
Eva received so much positive feedback about her hair loss supplement, and saw so many amazing results, that she wanted to take Tricoextra one step further, and made it more accessible to people outside of her private clinics.
Eva’s background
Leading Clinical Trichologist
Eva Proudman FIT IAT (WTS)
Eva Proudman FIT IAT – founder of www.ukhairconsultants.com – has been working for over 20 years as an expert in hair and scalp health, becoming one of the UK’s most recognised and respected Consultant Trichologists. Eva is a highly reputable, ‘go to’ source of expert comment for UK and international media and is often asked to work in advisory, research and clinical product development roles for commercial brands across the hair and scalp care industry.
Eva undertook and completed her initial 2-year training with the Institute of Trichologists (IoT), where her commitment led her to be presented with the prestigious John Firmage award. After many years of clinical experience, in 2018, Eva was appointed as a Director of the IoT, going on to be elected as Chair of the organisation two years later. In this role, she led the move to achieving accreditation for the Institute’s training courses as well as embarking on the ambitious programme of gaining Professional Standards Authority (PSA) approval. In February 2023, Eva was made Fellow of the Institute of Trichologists in recognition of her work in promoting the service of trichology and her dedication to the industry.
Eva fronted the ground-breaking 8-part series, The Hair Loss Clinic (available to stream on Amazon Prime and Discovery+). The show was the first time that a trichologist had opened their doors in this way to share their expertise and the patient journey.
Eva has also developed a portfolio of award-wining hair retaining and restoring products (such as shampoos, conditioners, scalp creams and dietary supplements), including a range exclusively for trichologists. Her hero brand, Tricoextra, recently won Best Hair Supplement for Hair Loss in the 2024 Hair Magazine Awards for the second year running! Further products for hair loss are currently in development and due for launch late 2024, including a shampoo for post-surgical clients.
Primarily consulting from her flagship clinic in rural Warwickshire, Eva regularly practises across a network of 6 clinics throughout the UK, further cementing her commitment to making trichology accessible to all. A trusted teacher, mentor and educator, Eva is a proud member of the International Association of Trichologists (IAT) and also the World Trichology Society (WTS)
My hair story
“I suffer from an excessive hair shedding myself following bariatric surgery a decade ago. I know first-hand how stressful it can be to see handfuls of hair in the shower, in the brush and around the house. This supplement really does work, I developed it with passion and a desire to make it available and affordable to everyone.
There are many different hair supplements on the market. However, many of them, despite a hefty price tag don’t contain all of the ingredients, at the right level, to be effective in treating the hair and scalp. That is why I developed Tricoextra.
Tricoextra ensures that I can give my patients the very best in supplementation at a very affordable price. To ensure maximum benefits for your hair and scalp I would always recommend a Trichological consultation.
A Trichological consultation will cover every aspect of your hair and scalp health, and will identify all of the underlying causative factors that are causing your particular problem. In some cases, supplementation may only be part of the solution which is why I prefer to see patients before offering them this supplement.”
