Snippet from the article: Read the rest — Kim Kardashian displays shocking hair loss and extensions after ‘relying on weaves to boost her post-pregnancy thinning locks’ It’s possible that the loss is caused by hormone changes following her recent pregnancy, but hair extensions into weakened hair might be doing more harm to her hair. The […]

Tight rollers or pulling or brushing your hair vigorously can cause hair loss that may be permanent. The only way to tell if your hair will grow back is to wait it out. It may take about one year for you to see regrowth. If you do not see regrowth after a year then it […]
I appreciate the trust most readers have in my ability and expertise as a hair transplant surgeon, but how would you expect me to know if your hair loss is from a maturation of a hairline without an examination? No one is that good! With the above said, yes, traction alopecia is a major cause […]
Picking at your scalp and/or hair causes traction alopecia. In some people, the picking gets so severe that a name to describe the process is worthy for your review — dermatillomania. I’m not about to diagnose you with this disorder over the web, but the hair could become permanently lost if you continue to pick […]
You should see a doctor. Good bulk measurements can identify genetic hair loss early in the process. Traction alopecia caused by a ‘pulling’ of the hair from such activities as you described is also a possible cause for hair loss. I have seen men start their hair loss process where you report your loss is, […]
I am not sure that what you are describing makes sense. If I was to pull out a hair on your head, it would most likely regrow if it was not subject to genetic balding; however, what you describe does not sound that way since you mentioned using a KNIFE? I really can’t answer whether […]
Acute weight loss is a known cause of balding in both men and women. Men bald in patterns and rarely bald in the donor area, while women get a diffuse balding that does not occur in patterns. You need to send me some photos of you so I understand what you mean by balding. If […]
The itch you’ve experienced could be related to the hair loss you’re seeing, but it’s not a common thing to have an itchy scalp because of genetic hair loss. I haven’t been able to pinpoint a link, but some people have told me they’ve experienced itchiness during thinning. You should try seeing another doctor, perhaps […]
I suppose anything is possible. Perhaps you have traction alopecia, but I wouldn’t say it is from an ischemic process. If the problem has been ongoing, the hairs may not grow back. Only time will tell (about 1 year), but I suppose if it has been since late 2011, you would know by now. Transplants […]
First, you need to be evaluated by an expert in hair. You can try to quantify the degree of thinning by measuring hair bulk throughout your scalp to see if there are components of genetic hair loss present. Yes, you are right, people can damage their hair from aggressive styling (extreme form is traction alopecia […]
Wearing bandanas or hats (even all day) does not cause male pattern baldness. Unless you are wearing something that is very tight so that it is constantly causing friction and traction to your hair, it would not matter. If the hair loss was caused by the tight pulling, we call it traction alopecia. In your […]
What you’re experiencing is called traction alopecia. This occurs with continuous pulling on the hair over time. Unfortunately, hair transplantation is the only solution for this problem that I know of.
You are getting way ahead of yourself here. You need to first get a diagnosis from a physician and then discuss your options in a Master Plan for treatment. If you are scared to take a medication due to potential side effects, that is up to you and your doctors to decide. Finally, wearing hair […]
This is not reasonable. You showed a picture of a flake of dried skin on your scalp under high power, but there’s just no way one could expect that the photo would have any meaning to me. You really need to have an examination of your scalp. If your dermatologist was unsure why you […]
Finasteride and minoxidil (Rogaine) are the two drug treatments I will recommend, as they are FDA approved to treat hair loss. Micro ring hair extensions do not use glues or sewing, but while I haven’t had it done myself (I prefer my hair short), the photos I’ve seen show me that it will probably run […]
