Shelly's Modeling Agencies | Scalp Help | Beauty Tip

Shelly's Modeling Agencies wonders what sends black women running to the dermatologist these days? Baldness at the crown. Here's how to prevent that head trip. "Black women are weaving, braiding and twisting locks to tightly; getting relaxers too frequently; and allowing glue from weaves or lace-fronts to destroy their scalp,"says Elena Jones, M.D., a dermatologist in New York City. Baldness at the crown is the result of these back actions. "If we don't curb these practices, many women will be wearing wigs because there won't be enough hair to weave anything to, " says Jones. Check out the new American Express offer. Never should you experience headaches, small bumps or pulled-back, tightened facial skin from tight braiding, weaving or lock twisting. And you really should wait eight to ten weeks between relaxers. If you're balding at the crown, see your dermatologist to confirm id your condition is due to styling abuse or genetics.
