I am an African American woman, the doctor I saw was Caucasian. I came due to hair breakage. As soon as he entered the room, he sat down and gave me a diagnosis. After talking and questioning how he was able to determine that, finally looked at my scalp but My hair was in a ponytail, when I asked him if I should take my hair down, he said no. He did not even look at the my entire scalp. He told me breakage is from wearing braids all of the time, I have locs.
