Symptoms And Signs

This article explores the different types of hair loss that black women may experience more than other groups of patients. Properties of African hair and the impact of hair care practices are discussed, as well as factors affecting the presentation of other hair loss conditions. It is important for the aesthetic practitioner to be able to distinguish between the temporary forms of hair loss that they can help to treat and the permanent or scarring forms of hair loss, which need a prompt referral to a dermatologist with a specialist interest in hair. Prompt recognition and referral can help to delay the progression of hair loss. The symptoms and signs that patients and practitioners should be alerted to are explored, as well as the treatments that can help and where referrals may be necessary. Recent developments and gaps in knowledge are summarised.

Background: Traction alopecia (TA) is a preventable form of hair loss that most commonly affects women. It is the result of chronic use of hairstyles that put tension on hair. Public health efforts to increase awareness of this condition are critical. Early recognition by health care providers, along with counseling and cessation of offending hair care practices can impact severity of hair loss. Objectives: In a patient with patchy hair loss, having a high index of suspicion for TA and looking for clues in the history and exam, can help establish an accurate diagnosis. Methods: Patients with afro-textured or curly hair may use various techniques to maintain their hairstyles while sleeping in order to avoid time-consuming and/or expensive hair care. This behavior is not commonly recognized or addressed. Results and Conclusions: Increased awareness of “nocturnal traction” and asking patients “How do you wear your hair when you sleep?” may help identify at-risk patients.

An online survey consisting of 15 questions was conducted to find if these factors contribute to foreign medical students experiencing hair loss at a very young age and if the current chaotic environment of the covid-19 pandemic has accelerated hair loss.  81.7 %( n=156) foreign medical students belonging to ages 17 to 25 years started to experience hair loss (p= 0.0127), where stress (54.5 %( n=85)), nutritional deficiencies and internal conditions (37.5 %( n=58)) have been responded to be contributing factors for their condition. Interestingly, 54.5 %( n=85) students are experiencing hair loss after moving to Georgia (p=0.04). Despite all the acknowledgment of cause for their conditions, 92.3 %( n=144) of foreign medical students have responded to not undergo any treatments to manage and control hair loss. Additionally, 33.3 %( n=52) of students stated that they have noticed more progression in hair loss during this pandemic. If these students continue to ignore undergoing treatments then they might experience more progression in hair loss.
