Hair has its problems and African Americans have encountered numerous amounts of them. Different hair types present many issues concerning scalp disorders. This month we look at a growing issue among African American women called Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia (CCCA). Scalp Disorders are a common complaint among African American because with the scalp problem comes hair loss. This CCCA is a harsh scarring Alopecia. Women usually get this. The beginning signs would be thinning and balding starting in your thirties, forties and fifties. These signs start in the center of the head and spreads outward. The affected area is shiny, smooth and very dense.You'd probably notice the hair is dry and brittle too. Many people experience a lot of itchy, burning sensations; while other have no symptoms at all. You may say that tight braids, too many relaxers, blow drying or too much heat is the culprit; but truth be told there are no cures because they don't know the cause. You can always try spacing your chemicals out a little longer. Try going the natural route and move away from chemicals altogether. If you have this problem and your hairstylist hasn't suggested you see a Dermatologist maybe you should see a different stylist. In general, they are the professional and should use their professional judgment while trying to maintain your business.
