TLDR A scale was made to measure hair loss severity in African American women.
In 2008, a study was conducted to develop a photographic scale for identifying and assessing the severity of Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia (CCCA), a common cause of hair loss in African American women. The utility and reproducibility of this scale were tested on a group of 150 African American women who were evaluated by four investigators experienced in diagnosing hair disorders, as well as by the subjects themselves. The aim was to help identify this problem in the general community and potentially correlate clinical data with hair loss.
