@drnokubongakhozaderm: What steps can we take to address hair loss? Black women may have a genetic predisposition to permanent hair loss and scarring. Here are some tips: * Reevaluate your hairstyling routine, ensuring that you make a conscious decision to avoid damaging, pulling, or irritating the scalp - it's delicate territory. * Steer clear of excessive pulling and minimise the use of synthetic hair (I know it can be tough to hear), especially over prolonged periods, if possible. * Give your hair a well-deserved break more frequently. Seek professional advice for all types of hair loss or breakage, no matter how minor they may seem. Your hair deserves the best care! #drnokubongakhoza #hairloss #protectivehairstyles #durbandermatologist #durbanskindoctor
