Hair Styling and the Medical Community: Collaboration is Key

Featured

Many women experiencing hair loss don’t seek the help of a doctor until it is too late. With his new book ‘Dr. Weaver’s Black Hair Loss Guide”, Seymour Weaver III, MD bridges the gap between doctors and hair stylists, who are often the first to notice hair loss.

Many people who suffer from hair loss in silence simply do not know that their embarrassing problem is more than a vanity issue. Women, especially, must understand that it is a real, medical issue, one for which treatment is necessary. Dr. Seymour Weaver emphasizes this in his new book, Dr. Weaver’s Black Hair Loss Guide: How to Stop Thinning Hair and Avoid Permanent Baldness. His book is the catalyst for a conversation many medical professionals have been attempting to spark with hairstylists for years.

Hairstylists see their clients far more often than a doctor sees them, and they work with exclusively with their clients’ hair. Taking this into consideration, hairstylists should be the first line of defense in noticing thinning hair and encouraging their clients to get help, but most are not armed with the knowledge they need to do so. Many women don’t go to a medical professional for hair loss until it is far too late. Getting hairstylists the medical information they need to help their clients get treatment is a key element in ensuring fewer women go through the traumatic experience of permanent hair loss.

Dr. Weaver works to bridge the gap between hairstylists and medical professionals. By providing them with the information they need regarding causes, diagnosis, and treatment of hair loss, he opens the door for a new and important relationship. A true catalyst for change, Weaver emphasizes the necessity for a relationship between doctors and hairstylists. With this relationship in place, more women will get treatment for their hair loss before it becomes irreversible.

The Book Every Woman with Thinning Hair Needs to Own

023 682x1024 The Book Every Woman with Thinning Hair Needs to Own

Houston Dermatologist Seymour Weaver III, MD offers women insight into the process of diagnosing, treating, and reversing hair loss with his new book, ‘Dr. Weaver’s Black Hair Loss Guide: How to Stop Thinning Hair and Avoid Permanent Baldness.’

Many women suffer from the painful experience of hair loss; even celebrities like Naomi Campbell and January Jones are susceptible. Even worse, few women know where to turn when they begin losing their hair or are even aware that hair loss is a real, medical problem and not just an issue of vanity. In his new book, Dr. Weaver’s Black Hair Loss Guide: How to Stop Thinning Hair and Avoid Permanent Baldness, Seymour Weaver III, MD tackles this problem head-on, providing a much-needed resource for women with hair loss.

Despite the title, Dr. Weaver’s Black Hair Loss Guide is a guide for women of all ethnicities. These women often don’t know that they need to turn to a doctor. When Naomi Campbell’s hair loss was revealed by The Huffington Post last August, experts speculated that she has waited too long to seek treatment. Waiting too long can result in permanent baldness, but, with the help of Dr. Weaver’s book, many women can avoid that irreversible damage.

Dr. Weaver demystifies the process of turning to a doctor for answers to hair loss. His book includes pictures and a detailed guide of the steps to diagnosis, such as consideration of a patient’s medical history, scalp examination, biopsy evaluation of the scalp and a final diagnosis. This helps eliminate fear of the unknowns that may occur during the doctor’s visit and motivates women experiencing hair loss to seek treatment.

Once women understand the importance of enlisting the help of a dermatologist and realize that it is a simple process, they can stop being afraid and start finding answers and treatment.

Weaves: The Awful Truth about Weaves, Baldness & Thinning Hair

Featured

Women who love their weaves aren’t recognizing that they are causing permanent damage. In his new book, ‘Dr. Weaver’s Black Hair Loss Guide: How to Stop Thinning Hair and Avoid Permanent Baldness’, Seymour Weaver III, MD urges women to abandon their weaves, before it is too late.

In recent years, weaves have become increasingly popular among women of all races, though they remain especially prevalent amongst black women. This is understandable; a weave makes a woman’s hair look great, and many women love the look weaves offer their hair. Perhaps this is why so many women choose to ignore the unsavory truth about weaves.

In Dr. Weaver’s Black Hair Loss Guide: How to Stop Thinning Hair and Avoid Permanent Baldness, Seymour Weaver III, MD discusses why, though weaves make a woman’s hair look great in the short term, in the long run, they can be disastrous. Hair thinning is not only possible, it is likely, and will only worsen with time. Eventually, permanent baldness can occur if women don’t answer the question, “What’s under your weave?”
Weaves merely cover the problem of hair loss with a “Band-Aid solution”, instead of solving it. This Band-Aid is one that often makes the problem more severe and keeps women from seeking the help they really need.

Dr. Weaver informs women that hair thinning can be the result of various causes, including genetics, medications, scalp infections, and hair styling, and that help should be sought from medical professionals, rather than hair stylists. He stresses that hair loss, which is a medical problem, cannot be fixed by a beauty professional.
Dr. Weaver’s Black Hair Loss Guide arms women with the information they need to face their hair loss and seek real help for it. Now the question, “What’s under your weave?” doesn’t have to be such a frightening one.
