I started to lose an unusual amount of hair about a year and a half ago. I realized that it was likely due to simultaneously hardcore intermittent fasting (Telogen Effluvium) and traction alopecia caused by a regretful man bun. Most of my hair is back now, and I’m not balding, but I lost density behind my […]

I have written to you before. Will minoxidil give me enough hair to avoid a hair transplant? Traction alopecia from the use of a turban is usually permanent. You will know this because if the hair doesn’t regrow without the tight turban in 6 -9 months, it is gone. This is caused by traction. Unfortunately, […]
Can you get traction aloepecia from checking your hairline. I probably pull my hair back to check my hair like 10 times a day, very infrequently it might even be for an entire hour total. Could this cause any permanent damage? No, if you don’t pull on your hair, you will not get traction alopecia
I am 19 years old and I used to tie my hair up very tightly in high school and I wore hats which made me lose a lot of hair. My hair currently looks like (https://imgur.com/a/Rw7qVdf). I went to a dermatologist (looked at my head for 2 minutes), who prescribed me 2% ketoconazole and 100 […]
I am a 21 year old female suffering from traction alopecia. Unfortunately, due to my work I have to wear my hair in tight ponytails. I believe this has caused me to lose hair around my temples. What are my options ? I would like to know if it is present on the other side […]
The use of your turban with the pulling that is created from the tight wrap is the most likely cause of the hair loss. If the loss has been there for more than 8 months, it is probably permanent and the only good treatment is a hair transplant. We see this commonly in Sikh men […]
So I have traction alopecia and I have for a while from wearing extensions for years. I have four big bald spots in the back of my head. I don’t have the confidence to not wear my extensions but i need help to grow my hair back if possible. I figured I can wear my […]
I was having issues in the back of my head. 5 years ago, my frontal hair started thinning. Each year it got worse. I’ve seen 3 dermatologists (in Houston) confirming this diagnosis (CCCA). Can I get a hair transplant for this condition? The picture strongly suggests traction alopecia; however, with three dermatologists confirming the diagnosis of […]
I would want to know more about you to give you more insights. If you are a female, then traction alopecia is a possible cause if you pulled your hair back tightly for many years.
The good news is that transplanted grafts, especially if they are plump with a special type of fat, will help rebuild infrastructure. I have done hair transplants on many patients who have alopecia, and they have seen a remarkable rebuild of the fatty infrastructure that comes along with the transplanted hair grafts.
I have had these bald spots since I was at least 5 years old. My mother said that she did put my hair in tight braids, yet other doctors are telling me that it was caused by tight braids. I personally don’t believe the diagnosis. This history and the location is classic for a genetic […]
Assuming this is a serious question: would driving on the freeway, with the top down cause, hair loss? Seriously, the simple answer is: NO.
Scalp MicroPigmentation (SMP) may work for treating traction alopecia, though it likely depends on the style you plan on having. It could look just fine if the hair is kept short. Hair transplantation is a good treatment for traction alopecia, providing that the cause of the traction is gone.
I guess it depends on how much and how hard you are pulling on your hair. Touching your hair shouldn’t be an issue. If you have an issue where you cannot get yourself to stop touching your hair, it may be some form of an obsessive compulsive act and you should follow up with a […]
If you have an obsessive compulsive disorder to constantly pull on your hair, that may cause permanent hair loss to the area (depending on the severity and length of the offending habit)… but just looking at yourself in the mirror and combing your hair back will likely not cause traction alopecia. It may seem like […]
