New York Dermatology 30 East 60th Street (Park/Madison) 8th Floor Suite 805 New York, NY Black Hair Loss NYC Treatment Center in New York, NY 212.644.6454 Opened 7 Days a Week for Treatment If you're not currently: Applying a moisturizer as needed, whether once a day or several times per week Deep conditioning at least once per month Conditioning after every shampoo Applying a leave-in conditioner after a shampoo/condition session, you may need to start.  Chemical Overprocessing Overlapping relaxers, aggressive bleaching and applying too many chemicals to the hair are all prime culprits in damage to black hair.  Traction Alopecia Tight styles, particularly ones that pull at the hairline, can do serious damage; in some cases, this damage is permanent, killing follicles forever.  Damaged hair will still grow from the scalp, but it often breaks off at the ends or requires a drastic cut to get rid of unhealthy sections.  Hair grows an average of 1/4 to 1/2 inch per month, so if you care for your hair properly, you don't need to cut more than 1/2 inch every few months or so if you want to see growth.  Sleek, straight hair that's pulled to within an inch of its life may look good, but healthy hair is about so much more than appearance.  In many cases, a mindset is what needs to change at the same time the style changes 212.644.6454
