Traction alopecia is a type of hair loss that occurs when hair is pulled tightly for a prolonged period of time, causing damage to the hair follicles. This can happen due to certain hairstyles such as tight braids, ponytails, or cornrows, as well as the use of hair extensions or weaves that are attached with tension.
Over time, the repeated pulling can weaken the hair follicles, leading to hair breakage and thinning, and in severe cases, permanent hair loss. Traction alopecia is often seen in individuals who regularly wear tight hairstyles or use damaging hair styling techniques.
Seeking advise by a qualified Trichologist is the best approach
