The Root Cause Regimen: An Integrative Guide to Hair Health for Skin of Color

The Melanin Initiative

In honor of Alopecia Awareness Month, we are dedicating this special episode to the voices, concerns, and questions of the Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia (CCCA) patient community.

If you have ever felt unheard, dismissed, or overwhelmed on your hair loss journey, this conversation is for you.

This special episode of The Melanin Initiative Podcast, hosted by the Alliance of Cosmetic Nurse Practitioners™, is a deep dive into the questions you've been asking. We've taken real questions from patient support groups and are providing clear, evidence-based, and hopeful answers. This is a masterclass in understanding your condition and advocating for the culturally sensitive care you deserve.

In This Episode, We Unpack:


The power of an integrative approach that combines dermatology, nutrition, and stress management.

An honest discussion about the disparities in research and why your experience is valid.

How the lack of diversity in dermatology education impacts your care and what you can do about it.

Actionable steps and a message of hope for managing your hair health journey.
