ABSTRACT
Central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia (CCCA) is the most common form of primary scarring alopecia diagnosed in women of African descent. Although the etiology was originally attributed exclusively to hairstyling practices common among women of African descent, more recent research on CCCA supports the concept that there are several contributing factors, including variants in gene expression, hair grooming practices that increase fragility on the hair follicle, and associations with other systemic conditions. Treatment of CCCA involves a combination of patient counseling and education on alternative hairstyles, medical therapies, and procedural methods when necessary.
