HAIRLTH®
I am a clinical trichologist that helps you (with African-textured hair) to achieve a better understanding of your hair classification through the SCALP & HAIR PROFILE™, so you can select the appropriate products and establish an effective haircare routine.
I also diagnose and treat diseases of the scalp and hair.
AREAS OF EXPERTISE
HAIR THINNING, HAIR LOSS, HAIR SHAFT & SCALP PROBLEMS.
Hair thinning and diffuse hair loss result in low density hair appearance. These include female pattern hair loss, telogen effluvium, and loose anagen syndrome.
Hair loss that causes bald patches is either scarring or non-scarring. Scarring alopecia include folliculitis decalvans, lichen planopilaris, frontal fibrosing alopecia, ccca, pseudopelade, scleroderma, and lupus erythematosus. The non-scarring alopecia include alopecia areata, tinea capitis, trichotillomania, and physical causes of hair loss.
Scalp problems include those causing pruritis (lichen simplex, acne miliaris necrotica, pediculosis capitis), those that affect the sebaceous glands (seborrhea oleosa, and seborrheic dermatitis), and those causing scaling (pityriasis capitis, psoriasis, pityriasis amiantacea).
Hair shaft problems result in hair breakage (includes bubble hair, trichorrhexis nodosa).

What is the Scalp & Hair Profile?The Scalp & Hair Profile is a hair classification system that helps you understand your hair better. Unlike the hair typing system (which focuses on only curl pattern) the Scalp & Hair Profile combines follicle size and shape, scalp barrier, and sebum secretion in determining your profile. There are four profiles based on these characteristics: dry, sensitive, fragile, and oily. If you need help with identifying your profile, a scalp and hair analysis will provide you with the answers.
