When it comes to scalp or hair conditions, your stylist might be the first to notice issues—sometimes even before you do. If you are currently receiving treatment from a dermatologist, it’s essential to recognize that your stylist may be unaware that certain chemicals or treatments could exacerbate your condition.
Dr. Chesahna Kindred, a prominent expert in hair and scalp disorders with a focus on alopecia, has identified this critical gap in knowledge. In response, she established the Stylists Training, Researching, and Networking with Dermatologists (STRAND) program. This initiative aims to foster collaboration and knowledge-sharing among professionals for more effective hair and scalp care.
By participating in this program, stylists can enhance their understanding of safe treatments, ensuring that their recommendations benefit clients. In turn, clients can find reassurance knowing that the divide between style and scientific care is steadily closing.
