Thank you for your kind words! I am hesitant to post this for fear that readers may think this is a ‘planted’ question, but you do raise some issues that have not been addressed in this blog. You can begin to color or bleach your hair once there is no more scabbing present and the […]

Here’s an email I just received today… I have done work on many African American females. As you may know, frontal balding is common amongst African American females largely because of the combined effect of pigtails that were used for styling in their youthful days as well as the abuses with chemicals, ie. straightners and […]
There’s a few issues that immediately stand out to me. First, I don’t know anything about your medical history or even your age. What did you find ineffective about the finasteride when you took it years ago? How long did you take it? Second, you’re asking me about whether you should take a prescription medication […]
The use of hair dyes have risks and can impact hair permanently, which is why you must go to a reputable hair stylist to hopefully avoid the types of damage that these chemicals can induce. You are welcome to visit us for an opinion. In general, it may take a full year before you can […]
I just heard a story from another doctor of a young girl (let’s call her Shirley) who went to a beauty school to get highlights in her hair. The student beautician put strands of her hair in aluminum foil and “painted” them with a bleach. Shirley’s head was then put under a hot hair dryer. […]
It sounds like you have a topical allergy to the dye. See your dermatologist!
What I tell black women is that anything they do to their hair can cause hair loss if it is done often enough. It’s a general statement, but I see it almost every day. Hair straightening with relaxers does it, pigtails do it, dreads do it. Perhaps you are best served with a good afro, […]
Ouch! Chemical burns from dyes start off just like you’re describing. You may want to see a dermatologist to find out if the burn did indeed go deep enough into the skin to cause the problem.
Female pattern baldness is discussed in many posts in this blog (see Female Hair Loss). In this condition, hair is miniaturized in a pattern that may or may not be similar to the man’s pattern. The more common type of balding/thinning is female unpatterned hair loss where the hair loss is spread throughout the scalp […]
Donald Trump had a Scalp Reduction surgery in the early 1990s (the surgical removal of his balding area), and may have had hair transplants producing a depleted donor area, strongly suggested by what we see in the video. The back of his head now appears bald which is most likely the result of many hair transplants […]
Over 20 years, this patient lost a lot of hair and as it was filled in, he ended up with a total of 7635 grafts, 2000 to achieve the goals shown below. His last procedures is show here, which reflect before and after pictures on moving his hairline down and filling in the crown. […]
Thank you for the baldingblog. The answers you’ve give over the years are a very valuable resource for patients before, during and after hair transplants. It’s now 9 weeks after my FUE. My recipient area is very red and incision marks are all visible. The color and texture of the recipient area improved until the […]
I edited this letter before publishing it here, because it contained things that should not be the focus of such a letter (even for humor). I always believe that if you have nothing good to say about someone/something, best not say it. This man was a delight to work with and we bonded in a […]
Scalp MicroPigmentation (SMP) may work well to fill out the eyebrows, provided that there is enough hair in the eyebrows and the hair on your eyebrows is dark. If you darken the skin underneath the eyebrow with SMP and the eyebrow hair is lighter in color than the pigment used below, it will be problematic […]
It could be genetics, but there is a known connection between the drug Accutane (isotretinoin) and hair loss, and even graying of the hair. Knowing that, the simple solution may be just to dye your hair. Speak to your doctor before you abandon the drug.
