As a board certified dermatologist for almost 25 years, I feel like I have seen it all and could go on and on. Here are my 5 Things NOT to do. ❌ Ignore Hair loss. See a board certified dermatologist who is experienced and passionate about treating hair loss. ❌ Ignore Traction Alopecia. If you don’t address it, it will worsen and you won’t have edges. ❌ Ignore an itchy scalp. It can be an indicator of a medical condition called seborrheic dermatitis or a sign of hair loss. ❌ Shampoo your scalp and wash your hair once a month. 🤦🏽‍♀️ ❌ Skip important trims. Split ends contribute to breakage, unhealthy hair shafts and lack of hair retention. You will think your hair is not growing. #hairlossawarenessmonth #hairlossawareness
