Why Textured Hair Needs a Specialist
Hair loss in Black women and men often presents as central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia (CCCA), traction alopecia, or other scarring patterns that behave very differently from androgenetic thinning. On textured hair these conditions are frequently missed or misread as breakage, dandruff, or a styling problem, and the delay matters: once a follicle scars, that loss becomes permanent.
Atlanta Trichology diagnoses with 200x trichoscopy, which reveals perifollicular inflammation, loss of follicular openings, and the peripilar white halo pattern that signals early CCCA long before a bald patch appears. Our certified trichologists are trained on protective styles, relaxers, locs, braids, and weaves, so styling history is treated as clinical information rather than blame. Dr. Nina Ross, ND, a Black practitioner who built the protocol, pairs scalp treatment with functional medicine bloodwork covering thyroid, ferritin, vitamin D, and inflammation. Evaluations are $99 and run 45 minutes in Sandy Springs.
What Makes Us Different
Trichology and medicine in one building.
Trained on Textured Hair
Our trichologists evaluate relaxers, braids, locs, weaves, and protective styles as clinical history. You will not be told to just stop styling your hair.
Early CCCA Detection
200x trichoscopy catches perifollicular inflammation and lost follicular openings years before visible thinning. Early detection is the difference between reversible and permanent.
Led by a Black Practitioner
Dr. Nina Ross, ND, PhD, built this clinic around the conditions our community is most often misdiagnosed with, and reviews every treatment plan personally.
