In this episode, I sit down with my colleague and close friend Dr. Oesi Tutu to discuss why hair loss in Black men and women often presents differently in patients with Afro-textured hair, with a focus on inflammatory and scarring conditions that are frequently underdiagnosed.

We cover conditions like CCCA, lichen planopilaris, frontal fibrosing alopecia, and traction alopecia, why proper medical evaluation is critical before considering hair transplantation, and the unique challenges of treating and transplanting Afro-textured hair. This conversation is meant to give Black patients clear, realistic guidance rooted in accurate diagnosis and long-term planning rather than assumptions.
