- Abstract
Dear Editor, Scarring alopecia is a common cause of hair loss in African American women, with the subtype central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia (CCCA) being the most frequent culprit.1 Both genetic predisposition and environmental factors play critical roles in CCCA development.2 CCCA progresses gradually, and patients may not seek medical attention before blatant alopecia occurs. *P < 0-05. gl Our study indicates that an educational video on CCCA successfully informed stylists about the importance of early detection and referral, particularly for clients with early stages of alopecia. Hair stylists as screeners for scarring hair loss within the African American community: a cross-sectional study.
