A new study headed by Cleveland Clinic dermatologist Angela Kyei, M.D. has revealed that certain hair styles, particularly those favored by African American women, could be the cause for certain kinds of hair loss.

The hair braiding or weaving that is commonly seen among certain ethnic groups, could cause inflammation of the follicles, and could also cause scarring hair loss and centrifugal cicatricial alopecia. In the study 28% women showed hair loss to occur from the center of the scalp and as many as 60% showed symptoms of severe hair loss. as many as 50% of the women who were part of the study and suffered hair loss said that they had had some sort of braiding or hair weaving or extensions inserted. This was a more significant proportion than the women who had not had any braiding / weaving done.

What is also alarming is that the women who have such weaving or braiding done are also more at risk of having bacterial scalp infections and type 2 diabetes.

So many of us are plagued by dry hair – coarse, frizzy or unmanageable hair when we long to have the sort of glossy, well nourished hair of our dreams.

Now modern beauty product manufacturers could be tapping into an ancient hair solution to repackage it for our hair – the Tawira Miskito Indians, or “people of the beautiful hair”, from the Honduran rain forest have long used the Ojon Nut for their hair.

The Ojon nut is known to have exceptional hair moisturizing qualities, and now brands such as Estee Lauder are becoming more aware of these moisturizing and hair enhancing properties. The key ingredients of the nut also help repair hair damage, which is one of the key aspects of the nut and it is claimed that the hair’s condition improved 64 percent after just one application of its damage-reverse line.

The shampoos / conditioners made from it are known to be expensive which is however not a deterrent for consumers who use the product.
