Many black women are suffering from Short hair syndrome. A hair disorder most are not even aware exit.

In this chapter I will define Short Hair Syndrome. And in conclusion I will show you how to break away from this dreaded hair disorder.

The desire to have long hair is a dream of every little girl and sometimes a dream of big girls, too. For many years deep in the heart of many black females, there was the desire to have long, flowing, healthy hair. Nowadays the average black woman just wants to know how to stop breakage and get a reasonable amount of healthy hair on her head. The bottom line is, all women would like to know that their hair would grow long with fullness, if desired. Unfortunately, many black women are convinced that their hair "just won’t grow", or they feel that their hair grows to a certain length and then just stops growing.

Thank you, Jesus

In all the years as a licensed hair care professional, I have never felt so blessed about any professional accomplishment than I felt when my Heavenly Father chose me to head the research that led to this discovery. The research began when God revealed to me that the number of black women suffering from hair loss was rising at an alarming rate. Groups of women were having prayer sessions at their church about hair loss.One lady e-mailed me  and stated, and I quote, "me and all my friends feel that we are going bald". Then she went on to ask, "is there an epidemic of hair loss among black women?"

Short Hair Syndrome is the coined phrase. Black women have been told every type of myth known to mankind about their hair problems. In this chapter I will share with you my discovery. Short Hair Syndrome is a very real hair disorder that many black women have but are not aware of. My hope is that many of you will breathe a sigh of relief. The study of kinky hair strands has revealed many answers to the unanswered questions about this epidemic of hair problems that black women seem to be plagued with.

Short Hair Syndrome defined:

Is a hair disorder a vicious cycle of hair growth and hair breakage due to some form of disruption in several areas of the hair strand? The hair breakage or loss of hair is the target symptom and the end result of a group of symptoms that collectively characterize this hair disorder. Other related symptoms that will appear within the hair strands are poor elasticity, chronic split ends, a change in the texture, tears in hair strands , and sometimes a slight change in hair color.

Although some of these symptoms may require microscopic hair analysis to detect, some can be discovered by personal observation.

Can you inherit Short Hair Syndrome?

Short Hair Syndrome, the disorder itself, cannot be inherited, but there are those who are predisposed to this hair disorder because of inherited similarities in hair texture and type. Also, there are hair care habits that are passed on from one family member to another that will cause this hair disorder to develop.

Who is most likely to have short hair syndrome?

Anyone can develop this hair disorder, but short hair syndrome usually develops among black women and children, with a combination of fine textured, extreme kinky hair type, and white women with extremely fine texture hair type. A cycle of hair breackage usually starts at a very young age and continues on as an adult. Black children that have short hair syndrome are sadly labeled as having "bad hair". In some cases, as they become adults the hair is usually kept in a short tapered style or some form of added hair, such as, a wig, braids or even weave, is applied. Most individuals are not aware of what is causing their hair not to obtain length pass their ear or shoulder. These individuals are convinced that their hair "just won’t grow", or they think their hair only grows to a certain length and stops. Although the hair texture and types I’ve mentioned are the most likely to develop SHS, anyone can develop this hair disorder.
