A Call for the Medical Community to Bridge the Gap that Exists Between Them and Hair Stylists

Doctors often lament the fact that patients who are experiencing hair loss come to them when it is too late to prevent permanent baldness. With his new book ‘Dr. Weaver’s Black Hair Loss Guide”, Seymour Weaver III, MD bridges the gap between doctors and the first person to notice hair loss: hair stylists.

Many medical professionals wish that there were a way to spark a conversation with the hair styling community. Hair stylists see clients more regularly than their doctor sees them, meaning that they are the first line of defense when it comes to spotting thinning hair before it is too late. By the time that women decide to go to the doctor, it is often too late. In his new book, Dr. Weaver’s Black Hair Loss Guide: How to Stop Thinning Hair and Avoid Permanent Baldness, Dr. Seymour Weaver bridges the gap, empowering hair stylists to be better advisors to their clients.

Once this bridge is built, doctors will no longer have to hope that patients will know to seek their help. Many people who suffer from hair loss simply do not know that it is far more than a vanity issue: it is a real, medical issue, for which treatment is necessary. Similarly, many hairstylists have no access to the medical information that they need to provide their clients with.

In his book, Dr. Weaver provides both potential patients and hairstylists with the information that they need, including the underlying causes, the diagnosis process, and treatment. In emphasizing the important of seeking treatment and the relationship that needs to exist between medical professionals and hair stylists, Dr. Weaver is a catalyst for change.

By bridging this gap, Dr. Weaver helps women to increase their chances of getting the appropriate treatment before it is too late for their hair. Dr. Weaver recognizes the importance of a national discussion on the topic, and by sparking it, women will be able to seek the treatment that they need and start reversing their hair loss.

Dr. Seymour Weaver’s new book

2 20 13 Wearver frontcover hires 662x1024 Hair Loss Expert Available for Media Interviews Topic Hair Loss BaldnessAfter Chris Rock’s movie Good Hair, which prompted a nationwide discourse on “good hair”, styling black hair became a hot topic. So hot that Tyra Banks, Oprah Winfrey, and Wendy Williams all talked about weaves, lace-front wigs, and falls. None of them got to the root—or the scalp—of the problem. Now, Dr. Seymour Weaver is talking about the bigger issues: how to stop thinning hair and avoid permanent baldness.


Dr. Weaver recently announced that he is available for radio, television, newspaper and magazine interviews on topic related to hair loss, avoiding baldness and this epidemic problem in the African –American community.

Dr. Weaver’s Black Hair Loss Guide, goes many steps further than defining “good hair”. He talks about what is really causing so many women, especially African-American women, to go through the traumatic experience of hair loss, including: scalp infections, medications, genetics, and hair styling. While many women turn to weaves when they discover that their hair is not as thick as it used to be or they uncover a bald patch, these only make the problem worse. The answer is not in synthetics, it is in the medical community.

When women don’t talk about their hair loss or cover up the problem, it prevents them from getting the treatment that they need in a timely fashion. When they fail to do so, it is often too late to fix the problem, and permanent baldness occurs.

Some of the topics that his book addresses include: the importance of seeking medical treatment, the types of conditions that underlie hair loss, the diagnosis process, and the damage that can be done if it is not treated in time. With pictures, an accessible tone, and an unwavering message about seeking medical treatment (rather than hiding the problem with a weave or hairpiece), Dr. Weaver’s book is one that is easy-to-understand.

Dr. Weaver’s Black Hair Loss Guide is destined to be a best -selling book that will teach the world how early identification of the medical conditions that commonly result in hair thinning among African Americans need to be diagnosed and treated as early as possible to help prevent permanent baldness!

Now, it is time for a national discussion on the reasons women are losing their hair.

The Need For A Black Hair Loss Guide

The Need for A Black Hair Loss Guide

The book provides an insider’s  look at the medical side of hair loss, scalp diseases, and damage that thousands of individuals, especially African American females are experiencing as a consequence of the rising popularity of wearing hair weaves and extensions.

Currently tens of thousands of ladies are wearing this type of hair style to get the look that they feel makes them look their best, but sometimes at the very high cost of developing permanent baldness.  Many individuals who chose this type of hair style approach do so to cover pre-existing areas of baldness without any prior medical diagnosis or treatment.  In this situation, the baldness oftentimes progresses from a smaller spot to large patches of hair loss covering up to 50% or more of the scalp.  A recent news story about hair loss involving Naomi Campbell illustrates how even super models are at risk for this condition http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/08/09/naomi-campbell-hair-exposes-bald-spot_n_1761999.html

One of the purposes of the book will be to provide a sorely needed medical reference to the many silent sufferers and individuals with the understanding of what types of conditions cause hair loss including hair weaves, how to get medical help to diagnose and treat hair loss conditions, and how to avoid being the victim of ignoring the problem and hoping it will just go away.  It is hoped that the book can create a connection and information exchange between hair care professionals, the medical community, and the public so that preventable baldness can be eliminated.

A review of the experiences and difficulties related to specific scalp problems and how a dermatologist diagnoses and treats these conditions is presented.

Outside of information provided by a variety of hair stylists and hair care experts, there has been a real lack of solid medical information about the issues and problems African American men and women face regarding their hair, health, and scalp disorders.  One of my goals is to help contribute to the solution for this problem by providing readily available resources that provide the necessary information.
