Will a protein treatment help my daughter's hair?
My seven year old has alopecia and when she gets stressed or sick has bouts of hair loss. Her form of alopecia is alopecia areata so she has hair loss in patches. School is getting ready to start here and she is nervous...can I take her to a salon and get a protein treatment to strengthen her hair? Any suggestions on products that will strengthen her hair? Thanks for your suggestions.
Alopecia areata is an auto-immune malfunction. This means that the immune system attacks its own follicles in a given area.
Stress can make matters worse, but protein will not help correct the auto-immune malfunction. The reason we know this, is that all the hair around the "patch" is usually healthy and strong, so you know that there is not a protein deficiency or all the hair would be effected.
There are a bunch of case histories successfully treated by a topical ( applied to the scalp ) product - Calosol - on:

Many of the cases shown are children - The one that has been covered by media articles is the same age as your daughter:

The trouble with treating AA in kids is that their school friends can be very cruel and tease. This adds to their stress.
A small patch can often get better with no treatment. This makes it difficult to know if the treatment being used actually helped or it was a spontaneous remission. The link I have given above shows reversals from scalp loss of over 75% which most medical experts agree does not tend to reverse itself .
