Hair loss is a deeply personal and emotional journey, and for years, I struggled with Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia (CCCA). I know firsthand how frustrating, discouraging, and isolating it can feel. But I’m here to tell you—it is possible to regrow your hair naturally.

If you’re currently dealing with CCCA alopecia or any form of hair thinning, know that you are not alone. I want to share my personal journey, the research I did, and the natural solutions that helped me reverse my hair loss. This is exactly what I did to regrow my hair after years of battling CCCA alopecia.

Understanding CCCA Alopecia: My Diagnosis and Struggles

For over 10 years, I had no idea what was happening to my hair. It started with thinning in the crown area, but over time, it became worse. My scalp felt inflamed, irritated, and sensitive. I tried different products, but nothing seemed to help.

When I finally saw a dermatologist, they diagnosed me with CCCA alopecia, an inflammatory scalp condition that can eventually lead to permanent scarring and hair follicle destruction. The doctor prescribed steroid shots and a steroid spray, which I used initially. However, in my experience—and based on feedback from many others dealing with this condition—steroid treatments can sometimes make things worse.

I knew I had to find a natural, long-term solution that would help my hair regrow without harmful side effects. So, I began researching, experimenting, and eventually developed my own natural hair growth regimen.

 

The Natural Regimen That Helped Me Regrow My Hair

After extensive research, I formulated a step-by-step regimen that not only helped me regrow my hair but has also helped many others dealing with CCCA alopecia. Here’s exactly what I did:

1. Organic Hair Growth Oil – The Game Changer

One of the most important changes I made was incorporating my Organic Hair Growth Oil, which I personally formulated using powerful, natural ingredients known to stimulate hair growth.

This oil includes:

• Extra Virgin Organic pumpkin seed Oil

• Organic Olive Oil

• Organic Peppermint Oil

• Essential Oil Blend

I applied this oil to my scalp daily, massaging it in to stimulate blood flow and encourage healthy hair growth. If you have a more severe case of CCCA alopecia, applying the oil twice daily can help speed up the healing process. But that worked for me and may not work for everyone. Gage how often your hair may like the Organic Hair Growth Oil Applied. Typically I tell my clients 2-3 times per week. 

2. Pumpkin Seed Oil Pills – Fighting Inflammation from Within

CCCA alopecia is an autoimmune disorder driven by inflammation, which means addressing inflammation from the inside is just as important as treating the scalp topically.

I started taking Pumpkin Seed Oil Pills (1000 mg daily) to help reduce internal inflammation. This was a game-changer because autoimmune-related hair loss starts inside the body, and if you don’t address that, no topical product will work effectively.

3. Biotin – Boosting Hair Strength

To further support my hair regrowth, I incorporated Biotin (2500 mcg daily) into my routine. Biotin helps strengthen hair, improve elasticity, and prevent breakage. If 2500 mcg is too high for you, start with 500 mcg and gradually increase.

4. African Black Soap Peppermint Shampoo – Deep Cleansing & Scalp Stimulation

A healthy scalp is essential for hair growth, so I developed the African Black Soap Shampoo with Peppermint Oil to deeply cleanse my scalp without stripping its natural oils.

This purifying shampoo:

• Removes buildup, dirt, and excess oils

• Soothes inflammation and scalp irritation

• Prepares the scalp to absorb the Organic Hair Growth Oil more effectively

I used this shampoo once a week to keep my scalp clean and promote better product absorption.

5. Hair Growth Conditioner – Locking in Moisture

To prevent dryness and breakage, I introduced a moisturizing Hair Growth Conditioner after using the African Black Soap Shampoo. Deep conditioning weekly helped my hair stay soft, strong, and manageable.

 

Lifestyle Changes That Supported My Hair Regrowth

Topical treatments are important, but what you put into your body matters just as much. Here are the key lifestyle changes I made:

1. Anti-Inflammatory Diet

I focused on reducing inflammation through diet by cutting out foods that trigger autoimmune responses. Here’s what I avoided:

❌ Processed foods

❌ Sugar

❌ Red meat

❌ Dairy (in some cases, it can contribute to inflammation)

Instead, I focused on eating:

✔ Fish & seafood (especially salmon, which is high in omega-3s)

✔ Vegetables & leafy greens

✔ Whole grains like quinoa

✔ Nuts & seeds

2. Avoiding Harmful Hair Practices

In addition to treating my scalp and improving my diet, I made sure to eliminate hair habits that could make CCCA alopecia worse, such as:

❌ Tight hairstyles (braids, weaves, or wigs that pull on the scalp)

❌ Chemical treatments (relaxers, hair dye, etc.)

❌ Barbershop clippers (for men, avoid clippers on affected areas, as they can worsen inflammation)

Instead, I focused on gentle hair care, allowing my scalp to heal naturally.

Do’s & Don’ts for Regrowing Hair from CCCA Alopecia

If you’re dealing with CCCA alopecia, here are some key takeaways to help you on your journey:

✅ Do’s:

✔ Use Organic Hair Growth Oil, African Black Soap Shampoo, and Hair Growth Conditioner

✔ Massage your scalp daily to stimulate blood circulation

✔ Take Pumpkin Seed Oil (1000 mg) and Biotin (2500 mcg) supplements

✔ Eat an anti-inflammatory diet to reduce autoimmune responses

✔ Be patient – hair regrowth takes time, especially in inflamed areas

❌ Don’ts:

✖ Use chemical-laden products that may irritate the scalp

✖ Wear tight hairstyles, wigs, or weaves that put stress on the follicles

✖ Eat highly inflammatory foods like sugar, processed foods, and red meat

✖ Give up too soon! Hair regrowth takes time—trust the process

Final Thoughts: Healing Takes Time, But It’s Possible

If you’re struggling with CCCA alopecia, I want you to know that you are not alone. I’ve been there, and I know how overwhelming it can feel. But with the right natural regimen, patience, and consistency, you can see results.

Imagine if I had given up— I would still be dealing with hair loss today. But instead, I committed to healing my scalp naturally, and now I get to wear my own beautiful, healthy hair.
