CCCA SUCKS - UPDATED WASH DAY ROUTINE

[@jonniegurl1919]

When my scalp is super sore and itchy I found that black seed oil with a few drops of peppermint oil gives me instant relief.

Thank you for sharing your journey. I was diagnosed with alopecia last year. But I’m Looking for a doctor that knows ethnic hair. They didn’t do any blood work and told me it was general alopecia. I’m only losing it at the top of my head and my temples. Then there’s a few random spots all around. It’s very hard and people brush it off and minimize the stress of it since you’re not skin bald. Sucks.

I was experiencing the same thing you did so I did some research and found out. They did a study on CCCA and shown that topical metformin is the new treatment to treat the inflammation. I also do laser light therapy every other day I’ve been taking the same vitamins since I’ve been diagnosed with ccca and now my hair starts feeling dry . I know it’s time to start seeing a profession hairstylist.

Be encouraged. I know it is frustrating to work so hard just to keep some hair on your scalp. I get frustrated sometimes as well but I know if I don't keep up with my scalp care the inflammation will take over and the CCCA will take all of my hair. I don't have a long wash day, because I can't go more than 3 days without shampooing. It seems that is the only way my scalp stays calm and I have very little hair shedding.

Thank you for this 🙏🏽 Im learning even on my bad days to still remain encouraged and hopeful. And I think Ill be washing my hair more often to reduce the inflammation for sure!

Don't give up!!! I have CCCA there's a compound medication with Metformin combine Minoxidil that research says its a game changer and its for CCCA. The inflammation is internal so I would suggest Doxycycline to clear up inflammation. I've been taking compound for 2 months now and I see a difference. I hope it helps
