Help for those struggling with hair loss
July 20, 2018 by Mat Edelson, Johns Hopkins University
Dermatologist Crystal Aguh studies lifestyle factors affecting hair loss in ethnic populations—an area where most dermatologists fear to tread. She speculates that's because dermatologists, the vast majority of whom were never exposed to the topic in medical school, are often "nervous on how to approach treatment."
This failure to communicate is particularly devastating to African-American women, as nearly 50 percent of them suffer some kind of hair loss. Studies suggest a significant portion of middle-aged African-American women feel their hair is "unhealthy"—perhaps due to experiences involving hair care and styling—and that these concerns lead many to avoid exercising, so as to protect their existing hair.
