Weaves, braids may speed hair loss in black women

By Karen Pallarito, Health.com

Weaves and braids may contribute to a type of permanent hair loss that appears to be common among black women, a new study has found.

More than one-quarter of the 326 black women who participated in the study had hair loss on the top of their scalp, and of those women, 59 percent had signs of central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, or CCCA, a poorly understood form of baldness that begins at the crown of the head and leads to scarring.

In my opinion, a "big chop" is when one cuts or chops a significant amount of their hair's length.

Topic of the Day: What your hairstyle says about you!

according to MSN.com :0)

They say women with long hair are afraid of change and women who wear an afro are bold....what do  you think?

 

 

Afro

Just like the curly haired woman, a gal with an Afro is proud of her natural locks and doesn’t seek to change it. It’s a strong, bold ’do, probably worn by a woman with the same qualities.
