ROOT OF EXCELLENCE: Nurturing the Future of Hair & Scalp Science

On 13th February 2026, Capelli Institute of Trichology (CIT) will mark a defining milestone not just a graduation, but the emergence of a new generation of qualified hair and scalp specialists prepared to serve Nigeria and Africa with science, skill, and integrity.

This graduation ceremony is rooted in our 2025/2026 theme:

“Root of Excellence”

Because true excellence is never accidental—it is cultivated, nourished, and sustained from the root.

Why This Graduation Matters

This ceremony goes beyond gowns and certificates. It celebrates the successful transition of students into professional trichologists and hair therapists at a time when the demand for scalp and hair health solutions is rapidly increasing across Africa.

From traction alopecia and post-braiding hair loss to scalp inflammation and chronic disorders, the industry needs practitioners who understand the science behind hair—not guesswork. CIT graduates are trained to meet this need with competence, ethics, and confidence.

Program Highlights & Academic Credentials

At CIT, excellence is structured, measured, and aligned with global best practices.

Curriculum Mastery

Graduates have undergone intensive training across core modules including:

• Anatomy & Physiology
• Hair and Scalp Disorders
• Chemistry of Hair & Cosmetic Products
• Clinical Consultation & Diagnosis
• Practical Trichology Techniques
• Salon & Clinical Business Management

This robust curriculum ensures our students graduate as problem-solvers, not just service providers.

Student Spotlight: Stories That Inspire

Behind every certificate is a story of courage, discipline, and growth.

Best Graduating Student – Adeola Adenuga

Adeola joined the programme late, but what she lacked in timing, she more than compensated for with determination, consistency, and excellence. Her focus, resilience, and commitment distinguished her among her peers and earned her the Best Graduating Student Award—a true embodiment of Root of Excellence.

From Novice to Specialist

Many of our graduates began their journey with curiosity and passion but limited technical knowledge. Today, they leave as confident practitioners, capable of clinical consultation, scalp analysis, and evidence-based treatment planning.

“CIT didn’t just teach me hair; it taught me how to think, diagnose, and serve with confidence.” – Graduate, Class of 2025/2026

“This training changed the way I see beauty—from aesthetics to health.” – Graduate Testimonial
