Question: I am an black woman, aged 42, with female pattern baldness around my front hairline. I would like to know if my new regrowth will grow and how will any chemicals, straightners, dyes, etc. might affect the regrown hair. I would also like to know where and how I can schedule an appointment for consultation ASAP. I have been using Regaine but I am still compelled to wear wigs to look my best, can you please help me? I am very interested in getting to see one of your specialists in black hair.
Answer: We have a black hair specialist. As you may know, frontal balding is common amongst black women largely because of the combined effect of pigtails that were used for styling in their youth as well as the abuses with chemicals, straightners and dyes. First, a good examination needs to be done to separate the effects of chemicals and pigtail styling to the female genetic hair loss. Then, a complete examination needs to be done to make sure that other medical conditions are not the cause of the hair loss such as thyroid disease, hormone imbalances, anemia, and so on. There are a series of blood tests that can rule this out.
My recommendation is to make an appointment first. The consultation is free.

Question: I used a relaxer about 2 months ago on my hair and it caused my hair to snap and break and I got a bald spot on my scalp and I can not see any hair. It has begun to hurt a little bit since last week. Is it a chemical burn? How could something like this happen? How can I treat this problem? I am very worried,that the hair won’t grow there anymore and that I will have permanent damage, is this possible? Could you please advise me about how best to treat this so that it will be healed up soon and recover? This is very worring. What’s best to do?
Answer: Chemical burns from relaxers are a very common complaint. If the burn went down to the hair root level, it may not return and the damage may be permanent and lead to scar tissue damage. You must wait this out for about 6 or 7 months and then and only then you will know. If you are still worried, as you sound, then why not book an appointment and see one of our trichologists that specialise in black hair complaints, disorders and damage.
