A dermoscope used to diagnose hair and scalp disorders is called a  trichoscope. Approach to trichology is based on clinical expertise of  the dermatologist and investigative techniques. Trichoscopy is a  valuable asset in clinical practice as it simplifies diagnosis of common  trichological conditions with similar presentations. It not only  highlights the subtle trichoscopic points invisible to the naked eye but  also serves as a prognostic and monitoring tool in therapeutic  management. Trichoscopy goes a long way in improving the diagnostic and  clinical acumen of the physician. Trichoscopic language deals with  pattern analysis ranging from hair shaft patterns to follicular,  perifollicular, and interfollicular patterns. This section on  trichoscopy not only describes the key trichoscopic features of  non-cicatricial alopecias and cicatricial alopecias but also helps to  delineate various trichological mimics from each other. It highlights  various trichoscopic points of genetic hair shaft disorders and  pediatric trichological conditions.
