First world problem but … I think I need to see a doctor about my scalp, but I’m also moving soon and need to put braids in my hair just for ease (wigs are ruining my edges and hurting my head).

Can a doctor still check for scalp issues with braids in?! 😩

Ideally it should just be your full natural hair to allow for a thorough examination with nothing in the way. What if you just call them and ask if it’d be okay?

Hey so i seen a dermatologist for traction alopecia and they asked me to remove my bun to examine my scalp, if you suspect hairloss, i would highly reccomend just letting your scalp breath and wear a cap!

There’s some hairloss around the edges I suspect due to a wig I wore for like 5 days only taking it off at night. Bc my edges were fine before that 😔

The pain/irritation is in a different spot with no hair loss. Idk why but I’m lowkey thinking psoriasis just from the symptoms 🥲

We’re not doctors but I personally don’t see how braids could affect it. Depending on the style, it might actually help due to the precise parting. Hope everything is ok.

Yeah I think it’s the lace bc I don’t use glue and never have! Just glueless wigs and some edge control.
Bc now I can’t even wear a wig anymore with serious pain 😭

How soon can you see a tricologist or dermatologist.

I would not do braids with extensions.

Maybe twists or braids with your natural hair (low tension)

I hear you, but if you’re experiencing tension or breakage this is best for your scalp/ hair health

According to a black derm I follow on IG she says do NOT have your hair braided if you want your scalp checked. @brownskinderm

I would suggest it. Several years ago my split ends were HORRIBLE and I had extremely itchy scalp so I finally went to the dr after cutting more than 6” to help the splitting. Turns out it was a scalp issue and medicated shampoo and time worked.

Have any of you felt your careers aren’t progressing as fast as your yt contemporaries? I just went down a LinkedIn rabbit hole looking through the profiles of some women (non-black) who I worked alongside 12-15 years ago at internships and entry level roles. Almost all of them are director level. I’m still struggling to get to manager level. All of us started in media roles then transitioned to tech in the last 5 years or so. Has anyone else noticed this?

I’ve been reading more about how there’s a difference between how men socialize and how women socialize at work.
