Everything you need to know about baby hair care!

Too often, baby hair care is overlooked and not given the same attention as adult hair care.

As a parent, it's natural to worry when your newborn has hair loss on the back of their head. But don't stress—it's actually quite common and nothing to be concerned about. In fact, your baby's hair loss is just a normal part of their development.

Despite what you may hear, newborn hair loss can be totally normal and usually resolves itself. Baby hair fall outs, grow backs and changes throughout the first few years of life.

I have been fortunate to have President Mona Gohara of the Women's Dermatologic Society in my life. She is an amazing leader and friend,
a true champion of our cause.

I can’t help but reflect on the truly remarkable year we’ve had under the leadership of our President, Mona Gohara. She has been an incredible leader and mentor to me, and I’m immensely grateful for the impact she’s had on our Society.

Throughout her tenure, Mona has been a compelling, effective, and powerful leader. She has demonstrated an incredible commitment to the WDS’s mission, and has taken bold and innovative steps to keep us moving forward! From launching new initiatives to engaging members, she has made a lasting impact on the organization.

I am so grateful for the leadership Mona has provided during her Presidency. As I ascend to the Presidency in 2024, I know that I stand on the shoulders of giants—and Mona’s legacy is sure to be felt for many years to come.
