Properly fit headphones, like any hat that does not rub or pull on the hair, will not cause traction alopecia. You more than likely have nothing to be concerned about regarding your headphones causing hair loss.

Hair weaves have been around for years and Addhair doesn’t appear to be any new “technology” judging from their website. I recall one company that attached individual strands of synthetic hair to individual hair shafts used a specially developed clip. As your natural hair would grow, the clipped synthetic hair would be pushed forward with […]
Combing your hair “against the grain”, so to speak, wouldn’t cause hair loss. Tightness can cause tension hair loss which sounds like something you are now experiencing. This hair loss in the front and sides is very common amongst Sikhs from what we call traction alopecia. It is caused by a tight turban which pulls […]
I am not against wigs / hair pieces. My point has been that it can be relatively expensive in the long run when comparing it to a hair transplant. In your case, if you pay $1000 a year, after 20 years you would have spent $20,000… which is much more than most people would spend […]
Flaking of the skin from seborrheic dermatitis itself does not cause hair loss, but if the scalp is picked and the flakes are pulled off, then hair loss can be a result of that process (meaning the hair will come off with the plaque). If a person picks on it regularly, that person can develop […]
Cyanoacrylate (more commonly known as Super Glue) is used in medical glues and can probably accomplish part of what you want. However, the skin does cycle and the top layer of skin often comes off, taking the glue with it. What you are describing would take a lot or work. Who do you imagine would […]
Traction alopecia is certainly a possibility from wearing a beanie or anything tight on your scalp for extended periods of time. Problems with blood supply and oxygen levels aren’t going to cause hair loss, though they were once thought to be causes many years ago. Hopefully, any vitamin D you’re not getting from sunlight is […]
Eyebrow hair goes through a normal life cycle just like the hair anywhere else on your body, but this doesn’t sound like natural cycling based on what you describe. If you have been rubbing the eyebrows (more about the repetition as opposed to the aggressiveness), this can cause traction alopecia to the hair on the […]
There is one patient I have seen that had traction alopecia from wearing a very tight fitting helmet everyday for a year. The hair loss did not look like genetic male pattern balding, but the balding area was where the helmet was rubbing on the side of the head. So it is possible, but not […]
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 […]
Sew-in weaves can cause traction hair loss. Constant traction on your hair can cause thinning as it is being progressively damaged. This does not happen 100% of the time, but it is a common problem for women who wear their weaves tight or have a tightly braided hairstyle. If you lose the hair, it may […]
Often the belly is an area that is rubbed by belts or articles of clothing. These can cause traction alopecia. Have you gained weight and increased your belly size?
I’ve written about this in the past, but I recall a time when one of my patients was mugged about a year after his hair transplant. During the robbery they held him by his hair, beat him badly and when they finished beating him up, they pulled out his transplanted hair. He came to see […]
After 13 years, I would think that there is no medication that would bring the hair back. You might try Rogaine for a year or so on the bald area, but do not expect a miracle. A hair transplant or some other surgical procedure may work, but I would have to see you and draw […]
People with liver disease just need to take a smaller dose of Propecia and they can be on that medication. Without seeing you I can not make judgments. I’d see Dr. Bernstein again. I don’t know if you have a mild case of trichotillomania, but if you’re just gently pulling on the hair to see […]
