Cradle cap can usually be helped by shampooing the baby's hair with a mild type of baby shampoo (perhaps more frequently than usual) and brushing with a very soft bristle brush to loosen the scales. You can also use a fine-toothed comb to remove the scales.
A mild soap should be used to wash any other body areas that are affected besides the hair and scalp.
If the cradle cap symptoms also occur on the face and/or in the diaper area make sure a pediatrician is consulted.  It is important to contact your pediatrician before using a medicated shampoo or cortisone creams.
In some cases the doctor may prescribe an ointment containing   hydrocortisone to reduce inflammation for this condition and may also recommend use of a stronger antiseborrhic shampoo. If the condition worsen of lasts longer than three weeks be sure to contact your baby's doctor.
Hair styling in African American culture is greatly varied. African American hair is typically composed of tightly coiled curls. The predominant styles for women involve the straightening of the hair through the application of heat or chemical processes.In many cases today, the overuse of heat and chemicals has left some African American women with fairly short and damaged hair.These treatments form the base for the most commonly socially acceptable hairstyles in the United States. Alternatively, the predominant and most socially acceptable practice for men is to leave one's hair natural.
Often, as men age and begin to lose their hair, the hair is either closely cropped, or the head is shaved completely free of hair. However, since the 1960s, natural hairstyles, such as the afro, cornrows, and dreadlocks, have been growing in popularity. Despite their association with civil rights oriented political movements, the styles have attained considerable, but certainly limited, social acceptance.In fact, seventy to eighty percent the customers at Ajes Salon in Chicago go natural, most commonly in the broad set or strong set styles. This harkens back to the Afros seen in Chicago in 1960s, except that "it is more tame than if it were naturally big and curly," said Tena Warren, an employee at the salon.
African American hair, and African American hairstyles are the diverse ways that African American men and women style their hair. Because many black people have hair that is thick with tighter and smaller curls than people of other races, unique hair styles have developed. In addition to this, many black hairstyles have historical connections to African cultures.
Since hair is a distinguishing feature of African origins, western beauty ideals characterized black hair, especially the hair of black women, as un-attractive. The Black is Beautiful movement played an important role in reversing these ideas in black communities.
Since the beginning of African civilizations, hairstyles have been used to convey messages to greater society. As early as the 15th century, different styles could "indicate a person's marital status, age, religion, ethnic identity, wealth and rank within the community."Unkempt hair in nearly every West African culture was considered unattractive to the opposite sex and a sign that one was dirty, had bad morals or was even insane.
