Yes, dreadlocks do cause hair loss. When it stops growing, this may be the first sign for the hair loss that will follow. Change your styling and hope that it is reversible.

I have seen people that have pulled their eyebrow hair out until they get traction alopecia. It sounds like your strategy may work, but I can not tell you how long it will take to get where you want to be. Every person is different. Alternatively, you can have these grafts thinned with an FUE […]
Tight pony tails or ‘pig-tails’ can cause traction alopecia (hair loss from constant pulling). Of interest, the ‘falls’ that women use to add fullness to hair are a frequent cause of hair loss in women who use them to make their hair appear fuller. The more the use, the thinner the hair gets and the […]
This is a review of a SMP procedure performed at New Hair Institute Medical Group. This is a female patient who had traction alopecia from wearing her hair pulled back too tight. She also had a component of triangle alopecia. SMP diminished the contrast between skin and hair. Note: patient also colored her hair on […]
You’re right in that I cannot make a personal diagnosis over the Internet. You report Diffuse Patterned Alopecia which does not define what you have. I am assuming that you do not have the diffuse form of alopecia areata which is an autoimmune disease (very rare in young men) and if you had it, it […]
If you are suggesting that a tight scalp that undergoes strip excision will get tighter, I believe you are correct. I do not believe, however, that a tight scalp causes hair loss.
If you have stopped picking at your scalp, hair transplants work well for dealing with either the bald area from the picking or the area where the clips caused hair loss. They key is that the offending process must be stopped or the balding will return again. For more about trichotillomania, see Trichotillomania Learning Center.
Regrowth of hair in the presence of active alopecia areata is likely not possible. I would need to evaluate him to understand the complex process and findings you are telling us about. Am I correct to assume that the lasers produced skin damage? Was it skin discoloration or is it real scarring? Is your son […]
Stop braiding your hair. The classic scarring alopecia diagnosis reflects an autoimmune process and it may occur from a wide variety of medical conditions, but what you are describing sounds like traction alopecia from the braids and scarring reaction to it. You need to get some insights into the biopsy that was done. Go back […]
The best way to determine which alopecia condition you have, is to get a dermatologist with considerable experience in diagnosing the various alopecias to give you an opinion. You may then need to get a biopsy of the area of alopecia and get a dermatopathologist to read the biopsy if there is any doubt on […]
I would want to see you before rendering an opinion. Your history is one I hear with great frequency, but the cause of the hair loss needs to be determined before making any plan to fix it. Different diagnoses would include traction alopecia and a variety of autoimmune alopecias. You need to be careful with […]
Can pulling dandruff scabs cause permanent traction alopecia? Pulling off dandruff should not produce alopecia unless you are pulling out the hairs in the crusts as well. Rather than picking it, you should use a good antidandrull shampoo. Some of the Tar based shampoos work well. Ask your pharmacist.
Some people see regrowth from microneedling coupled with finesteride. If somebody’s hair loss is not entirely related to dht then would just microneedling have a better chance of working then for somebody who has dht related loss? For example some women experience this trichotillomania related hair loss issue and they most likely don’t have dht […]
I am looking for a company that can assist to develop this concept. A rough idea would be to connect 4 strands of hair together with some sort of silicone, using a device would then pin a hole between the 4 hairs and your hair would then slide through holding it and then that would […]
I’m taking dut and oral min daily, and I’m waiting till I’m a bit older to get a transplant (age 21 nw3). In the meantime, I thought it would be a confidence booster to wear a hair system (wouldn’t stop taking meds). I’m trying to figure out if that would accelerate existing hair loss but […]
