Although calendula can help with the healing process. With scarring alopecia, it depends on the severity and longevity. If your alopecia has been on going for years with no treatment, it could be severe. You can treat your scalp naturally with the remedies mentioned in this hair loss series or if your scalp is very scarred, you can also consider hair implants. I hope this helps! Let me know if you would want a post on hair implants.Love Natural Sunshinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08034532869074948167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8523763456855560721.post-87693449685390176382018-07-13T12:45:52.218-07:002018-07-13T12:45:52.218-07:00Hi Tina!

Even if you do not relax your hair or use chemicals on your scalp/hair, the other hair products you use regularly like shampoos, conditioners, creams, scalp pomades can contain chemicals. I would suggest checking those as well.Love Natural Sunshinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08034532869074948167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8523763456855560721.post-38232408466391710152018-02-15T09:15:06.263-08:002018-02-15T09:15:06.263-08:00I recently diagnosed with CCCA and i cannot use co...I recently diagnosed with CCCA and i cannot use corticosteroids as i am undergoing with some fertility treatment. i just read the blog that calendula and other herbs can cure inflammation due to scaring Alopecia.Has anybody tried these yet as i have heard that this scarring alopecia is irreversible.sarah editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05267524328367759982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8523763456855560721.post-69040035842759257462018-02-15T09:05:08.040-08:002018-02-15T09:05:08.040-08:00Hi,

I do not blow dry my hair and hardly ever wear weaves or braids. I wear mostly twist outs and puffs . There has to be another reason for the CCCA.

I wear wigs but I hate to do so, I feel I have to for work. The center of my scalp itches so bad sometimes. I was going to the derm to get shots in my scalp - that was painful and worked for a month or 2 before my hair fell out again. I stopped that treatment and have been eating non inflammatory food, using tea tree oil and JBC oil, and praying. I believe God will help my hair to grow back. If not, I am grateful for what I have. Would love to hear from others for encouragement.

One, I suspect the medications could of caused the reaction of hair loss, perhaps they reacted with the sun or with your body chemistry. <br />If you are sweating from your scalp this can lead to a build up of bacteria and even fungus if not treated immediately and regularly. I would suggest washing your hair with a natural, pure Liquid Black Soap Wash. Then dilute Apple Cider Vinegar in water and do an Apple Cider Vinegar rinse to rid yourself of any bacteria. Moisture your scalp in the affected area with 1-2 drops of Tea Tree essential oil diluted in jojoba oil. Do this process every time you regularly wash your hair.<br />I would consult your doctor about the sweating as well as it is something that needs to be treated internally. Hope this helps!Love Natural Sunshinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08034532869074948167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8523763456855560721.post-46398443661871277892017-05-19T19:58:45.154-07:002017-05-19T19:58:45.154-07:00Hello!

In my early 20's was put on a medication for acid reflux shortly after that had the depo provera birth control shot. Had two total and gained so much weight I couldn't fit in my clothes. Stopped the Shots and could never lose the weight. Then diagnosed with polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. Started metformin. Then noticed in the sun I could see a lil bit of my scalp. It got worse and went to dermatologist who did a scalp biopsy and came back scarring alopecia. I sweat profusely from my scalp only, oily hair and now have type 2 diabetes, Epstein Barr Virus, chronic fatigue, keratosis Pilaris on back of arms. Red patches on my chest and a spot on each cheek bone. Thyroid is fine, been tested for lupus, cushings, Addison's disease, chrones disease and celiac. All came back normal. I can deal with everything except the hairloss! I don't understand how no one in my family has had any issues with hairloss and even extended family. I believe there is something that is causing it and need to figure it out before all my hair is gone. Can't wear wigs cause I sweat so bad from my scalp. Rogaine didn't do anything. Any thoughts or connections to all my health problems that could be causing this? I will appreciate any thoughts and comments and treatments! Thank you!

Or you could not have CCCA if you have not EVER worn braids, wigs, weaves, hot comb or tight hairstyles. You could just have too much bacteria on your scalp. Wash your scalp with a natural liquid black soap shampoo and see if it improves.Love Natural Sunshinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08034532869074948167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8523763456855560721.post-19112645223493082512017-02-22T17:47:31.325-08:002017-02-22T17:47:31.325-08:00Hi Betty!

Is it because of an illness or is it from using harsh chemicals? I would suggest following your doctors instructions and also eating protein and using natural products with protein on your hair. Our hair is made of protein so this may help. Also, I would recommend applying manuka honey to your scalp. It heals. But first find out the cause for the hair loss, then you can treat it.Love Natural Sunshinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08034532869074948167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8523763456855560721.post-73965265582774501852017-02-22T14:35:03.035-08:002017-02-22T14:35:03.035-08:00I have ccca but i dont wear braids wigs weaves or ...I have ccca but i dont wear braids wigs weaves or use a hot comb or tight hair styles.i am natural and it keeps getting worse.

If you want to use Chamomile instead of Calendula for the Scalp Spray, you can use a Chamomile tea bag - you would not have to cut it open. Cutting it open could make the leaves more difficult to drain, as most tea bags are filled with crushed herbs. Also, make sure you are not allergic to Chamomile before substituting!Love Natural Sunshinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08034532869074948167noreply@blogger.com
