A Google Trends Analysis of Search Interest for Tender-Headedness and Scalp-Related Concerns
In this Google Trends cross-sectional analysis, we aimed to understand the popularity of tender-headedness by analyzing related Google search queries from January 2013 to December 2022. Since 2013, Google searches on scalp-related concerns, especially those regarding tender-headedness in Black hair culture, have increased, thus uncovering an opportunity for dermatologists to utilize culturally relevant language to address scalp concerns in patients with Afro-textured hair.
