Alopecia
KZ, as she prefers to be called for this article, is a well-known beautician in the District of Columbia, who suffered for years with a condition known as alopecia or hair loss. More than 80 million Americans suffer from this hair and scalp condition that affects children as well as the elderly of all races and ethnic groups.
Alopecia affects both men and women. However, certain types of alopecia, associated with harsh hair grooming practices may be more commonly seen in women. One particular type, central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia (CCCA) is much more commonly seen in African-American women, compared to other ethnicities due to harsh hair grooming practices, such as tight braids, hot combs and chemical relaxers. Other types of alopecia include androgenetic alopecia (female pattern baldness), telogen effluvium and alopecia areata.
“I kept getting scalp burns when I put chemical relaxers in my hair but vanity would not allow me to give it up,” said KZ. After years of torture, KZ went to a physician who told her she was allergic to some of the chemicals in the relaxer and with constant use the hair follicles died, causing alopecia. “I weighed my options to either continue straightening my hair with relaxers and risk the chance of being totally bald or stop it altogether.”
