  What is Scarring Alopecia? Scarring alopecia, also known as cicatricial alopecia, refers to a collection of hair loss disorders that may be diagnosed in up to 3% of hair loss patients. It occurs worldwide in otherwise healthy men and women of all ages. According to medical reports, it is usually caused by the result of infections, chemicals, burns or autoimmune disorders. Scarring alopecia’s do not create visible scars, but rather they attack the hair follicles beneath the skin. If the disease advances quickly or is left untreated the hair follicles can be damaged, or scarred, beyond repair. This results in a shiny bald spot where a follicle, or pore, is no longer present.  Click this link to read about her experience: https://melaninass.com/blog/2020/5/4/scarring-alopecia Source: Melanin & Sustainable Style #hairloss #alopecia #alopeciaareata #alopeciaawareness

 What Are Dormant Hair Follicles? When hair follicles stop producing hair altogether, that hair follicle is now considered dormant, and future hair growth from that follicle is unlikely if not impossible. If you have balding areas, those follicles might not yet be completely dormant.  Do not confuse hair that is in the resting phase of hair growth circle with dormant  hair. How can hair become dormant? Dormant hair follicles can occur from physical damage to the hair follicle, leading to it no longer being able to grow hair. Or, more commonly, hair follicles can be slowly miniaturized from exposure to a hormone called DHT (dihydrotestosterone). It can also be caused by damage to scalp caused by accident, chemical burn, product burn.  How to know if your hair is dormant or in resting phase  Dormant hair follicles mean that the growth phase has probably shortened over the course of many cycles, and the hairs keep getting shorter, finer, and thinner. If hair sheds during the exogen phase

Can Combing Your Hair Cause Split Ends? Lack of moisture is a major culprit of dry hair which can lead to split ends. You can cause MECHANICAL DAMAGE to your hair when using combs the wrong way on your hair.  When we run a comb or brush through our hair, our strands bend, twist and stretch, causing strain on the hair fiber.  If you comb natural hair while it is dry and not moisturized, this can break the “bonding glue” between each layer of the cuticle, causing the layers to separate from one another, known as de-cementation, and lift away.  This is what causes split ends for some people. How to properly comb your hair  https://youtu.be/rwYXY3SayJw Your hair can’t get longer if your ends are continuously splitting and breaking.
