Meet The Hair Loss Detective™
Founded by Trichologist Dr. Leola Anifowoshe-Brown, PhD — educator, author, and the originator of Investigative Trichology™.
Texas Hair Restoration & Wellness Center did not begin as a business idea. It began with Dr. Leola’s own search for answers.
In 1995, she learned she had sarcoidosis. During her care, including steroid therapy and other prescribed medications, she experienced significant hair loss. She could not know whether the change came from the condition, the medications, or several factors together. What she did know was how deeply it affected her — and how much she wanted to understand.
Already the owner of a vitamin and wellness store, she began studying nutrition, wellness, hair care, and the wider factors that can influence how people feel. As her own hair became healthier, stronger, and longer, people began asking what she was doing. Helping them turned a personal problem into a lifelong mission.
The Origin
“Some people had an idea and built a business. I had a problem that evolved into a solution.”
That work grew into Nzuri Hair Restoration Products®, TrichoLogics® Professional Scalp Solutions, HairInvestigations.com, and Texas Hair Restoration & Wellness Center. The same search for understanding now shapes Investigative Trichology™: listen carefully, observe closely, and personalize what comes next.
Today
Dr. Leola leads the Houston practice as a Trichologist, author, speaker, educator, and founder. Her work remains investigative and non-medical, with appropriate coordination with each client’s healthcare providers.
Hair Is Never Just Hair
Hair can hold confidence, identity, culture, family, milestones, emotional well-being, and self-image. We recognize the emotional weight of hair loss while staying grounded in our non-medical trichology scope.
Dr. Leola’s Doctorate in Christian Counseling informs the compassion, listening, and respect she brings to people experiencing changes in confidence, identity, grief, anxiety, or emotional wellness. Texas Hair Restoration & Wellness Center is not a counseling practice.
For clients who request it, we are honored to offer encouragement and prayer. It is always optional, respectful, and never expected or a condition of receiving care.
It’s never just hair. It’s your story.

Career Timeline
A personal search for answers became decades of study, product development, trichology practice, education, authorship, and institution building.
Before entering trichology, Dr. Leola owned a vitamin and wellness store. That work established an early commitment to nutrition, education, and looking at the wider context of well-being.
