I have seen many people who had their hair pulled out. If it is a single pull, it will come back in about 6 months. In contrast, repeated pulls can cause traction alopecia.

The hair loss patterns are inherited. The Class 7 pattern is only inherited in 7% of men and most men are there before they are 30. If you are a Class 5 and 30 years old, you are probably going to stay that way. Hair systems accelerate hair loss because the glue and attachment mechanisms produce […]
You most likely have traction alopecia, the result of pulling on your hair when you were young. These pulled out hairs are connon in the AfroAmerican community and they exist on the sides of your temples and it can be addressed nicely with hair transplants
If you keep plucking the grafts and sooner or later the hair will not return. In those grafts that you pluck you will eventually kills these hairs. We call this traction alopecia but it may take quite a few pluckings to kill these hairs.
You might have pulled out your hair from the heavy scratching. If it was the first time in that area, it will grow back, just give it abut six months. If you constantly do it in that area, you can develop traction alopecia which would then be permanent hair loss. I remember a former patient of […]
I am white female in my early 30’s. I had dreadlocks for 10 years and cut them off because of the same problem, the twisting and weight was too mich and caused permanent damaged. I loved my hair it grew down my calves and to cut it was a hard decision. I cut them 7 years ago […]
The first photo set is a woman who had her hairline lowered the day before these pictures was taken. Please note that the washing was so complete and the recipient sites so samll, that the recipient sites could barely be seen so I labeled the frontal view where a faint outline of the recipient sites show […]
It is important for people just starting with hair systems to know that hair systems, depending upon the mechanisms of attachments, often cause more hair loss. Almost all forms of attachment cause hair loss, particularly glues which kill the hair in the area where the glue is placed, and with clips that cause traction alopecia […]
“Gently” rubbing eyebrows or just plainly washing your face and eyebrows (or any part of your body) should not damage the hair or cause hair loss. Habitual rubbing and pulling of hair over the long term such as in trichotillomania can cause permanent hair loss.
We have seen this condition cover the entire scalp, but it the massive flaking only appears above the skin and the skin cycles more frequently producing massive flaking. As hair loss in most men is genetic and occur from genes in the hair follicles which are below (deep) in the scalp, what you see above […]
Parting your hair on one side does not cause hair loss or asymmetric hair line. In general hair does look thinner on the side of the part because there is no overlap of hairs and you can see through to the scalp easier. Parting the hair does not cause traction alopecia but some doctors feel […]
We have seen many identical twins (same genes) over our 23 years at NHI but they do not bald or lose hair at the same time. Maybe several months to years apart. This may suggest some outside influence. For example one set of twins twin used anabolic steroid and lost his hair fast while his […]
I often get similar questions asked about finasteride and minoxidil use with DUPA. They do not usually work. Hair transplants might work if the balding area is relatively small (like a Class 3 balding pattern). Using FUE, one can select the good hairs from the donor area and use them in the small recipient area. […]
The normal hair cycle is somewhere between 2-4 years, so if your hair can recover, it might take that long to see it in its next hair cycle. Also, it is possible that the damage produced by picking has irreparably damaged these hair follicles (traction alopecia), so what you are seeing are miniaturized hair as […]
What you are describing may be traction alopecia caused by pulling from a tight ponytail or possibly triangular alopecia, which can be genetic. The loss could even be from the chemicals if the process you used caused damage. I won’t know what type of hair loss you have without a physical exam. If you feel […]
