The use of small clips attached to real hair is applied to the miniaturized hairs on this man’s scalp. Eventually, the weight and the pull, will cause more hair loss of his original hair. Women do this commonly and I believe that Donald Trump did this at one time. what is this procedure? they gave […]

If the damage was done over a one month period of time, the hair is likely to grow back in up to 6 months. Repeated pull outs may not regrow so be careful with the extensions in the future
I appreciate the trust most readers have in my ability and expertise as a hair transplant surgeon, but how would you expect me to know if your hair loss is from a maturation of a hairline without an examination? No one is that good! With the above said, yes, traction alopecia is a major cause […]
I’m not sure what you’ve experienced with just a short history. Rogaine is used to grow hair. Some patients have reported initial hair loss in the first month, but those usually grow back within a few months. You can give it about a year to see if the hairs will grow back. You must also […]
Finasteride and minoxidil (Rogaine) are the two drug treatments I will recommend, as they are FDA approved to treat hair loss. Micro ring hair extensions do not use glues or sewing, but while I haven’t had it done myself (I prefer my hair short), the photos I’ve seen show me that it will probably run […]
I am not an expert in hair extensions, so I cannot comment if one is safer or better than the other. In general, if there is a constant pulling on your native hair (which you will feel), it may cause traction alopecia over a period of time. The extensions that are fixed in place have […]
Hair extensions can produce traction alopecia, leading to permanent hair loss. Since you just shaved your head, I hope that means you’re going to discontinue using extensions. At this point, you’ll just have to see what happens over the next few months. If there is permanent loss from the tight pulling, you’ll know within a […]
Hair extensions can produce traction alopecia (hair loss from constant pulling), which may or may not be permanent. Only time will tell. You may need to wait 6-12 months to know if the damage is permanent.
Snippet from the article: Read the full story at BBC News While it is true that hair extensions can lead to traction alopecia, the idea of banning them likely won’t go very far. Groups like this issue a press release with some big proclamation (in this case, banning extensions), in hopes that a news organization […]
Clip-ins may produce traction alopecia (hair loss), particularly when applied in the same place each time. As the clips are generally fixed to the wig, they almost always may be applied to the same place or the wig is out of place. I would think twice about producing that type of damage for the long […]
If your skin/scalp is irritated and ‘itchy”, you should see a doctor. Hair loss from hair extension is relatively common and is called traction alopecia. Most of the time if the insult has been ongoing, the hair may not grow back. Anything that pulls on the hair, even clip-ons, can cause traction alopecia. If you […]
It sounds like the glue pulled out hair. If this is just a short, one time episode, the hair should grow back. Constant traction over longer periods of time can cause permanent hair loss. I would recommend waiting 6-8 months and after the hair goes through a cycle (worst case) the hair should grow back. […]
Good judgments in determining the size of the donor area is the best determinant of the size of a donor scar. When the incision is too tight because the piece of excised scalp is too large, then the enemy is tension. The use of special closure techniques minimize the scars and the tension, but a […]
It sounds as though you indeed have traction alopecia from your braids. Given that you recently took the braids out, your hair may grow back. It is too early to tell as it could take several months to see new growth. I do think minoxidil is a reasonable choice in the meantime. However, the male […]
Ervamatin is not a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved product. It is a ‘food’ supplement. From a medical and scientific point of view, there is no way for me to say it works or if it is safe. It is a buyer beware market. Tiens Hypertension Comb is not a medically approved device. Issues […]
