Whats underneath that lace wig?

I was so excited to see my long lost client after two years of her not  coming to the salon Houston  Hair Weaving Center. I remember her saying she was thinking about going all  natural. After all the hugs and updates on whats going on in both of our lives  she sat in my chair, pulled off her scarf I gasped for my breath and she began  crying about how she was wearing the full lace wigs and things took a turn for  the worse.I began to examine her scalp and I was shocked to see that she  had a scalp fungus,scalp abrasions,along with permanent scalp damage. Angie not  realizing she was allergic to the adhesive she was applying to her scalp caused  a severe scalp infection called Demodex Folliculorum species of  parasites that causes a major hair infection (actually an infestation) in  people and it is more likely to develop in people already affected by pattern baldness. However in Angie’s case her hair loss came  from lack of knowledge and lack of experience. Angie like most of African  american women are suffering from hair loss called Traction Alopecia  damage to the scalp by using to much force or pulling of the hair.  Also one of the most popular adhesive for lace wigs have been tied  to Traction Alopecia and several scalp disorders when not applied correctly and  a skin test before applying to the scalp.

The question at hand is can one recover from Traction  Alopecia?
Absolutely one can recover with the help of a knowledgeable stylist and  dermatologist that will assist you while recovering.
Tips while recovering from traction alopeica and scalp  damage.
1. Stay away from all chemicals that can irritate the scalp.
2.Shampoo the scalp as recommended by a dermatologist.
3. If you must wear a weave please visit a professional stylist with experience that can provide several  techniques that will not hinder the recovery process.
4. Go in to this with an open mind knowing that no one can guarantee  100% recovery.
5. This is the most important tip, understand that lace wigs are not a  permanent fix. They are designed for temporary use.
