What is Ask the Hair Doc About?
Ask The Hair Doc started as a segment for the hair care group, Curly Centric Jamaica. The science of hair, hair care, scalp diseases and their treatment were often discussed. It became evident that there was need for a site to discuss all aspects of scalp and hair issues. This site aims to demystify all these topics for the general public. Be sure to check out the blog as well as the accompanying Facebook, Google +, Instagram and Twitter pages. Advice given should not be used as an alternative to a consultation with a doctor.
