Weaved Extensions Caused Hair Loss

I have recently taken out weaved extensions (conrows) that I have worn for over 3 years. I have lost almost all my hair in the back where the braids were. Do you think this will be a permanent loss and it’s too late now?

I also just started using rogaine extra strength (5%) for men, even though I am female (since like I said I have a ton of hair loss), is this okay to do, and do you think it will help in my case of all traction loss?

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 version of rogaine 5% is oil based and makes hair styling more difficult. The female version is alcohol based and tends to hair styling a little easier.
