Female Balding from Weave

My daughter is 18 years old. She wore a hair weave on a consistent basis for almost a year. This has resulted in her severe hair loss. She is bald due to hair loss on 70% of her head. I did take her to a dermatologist, and he has prescribed a steroid base ointment for her to put on her scalp. Currently, she is wearing a wig. This helps with the mental aspects of losing her hair. I would like to do more. The research that I am reading concerning her conditions says that her hair may not grow back. How can I reassure her that her hair will grow back? Do you know how long it takes for hair regrowth?

Unfortunately, using a wig may forego recovery. This is a catch 22, which means that she might have to avoid wigs and let her hair recover first. The question is: Is her traction alopecia permanent? One may never know unless you give it 8-12 months. Be sure that the diagnosis is traction alopecia, for there are many causes of Female Hair Loss which need to be screened for.
