First off, if you are female with a poor donor area, why would you even consider follicular unit extraction (FUE)? That surgical technique is mainly for people who want to cut their hair very short (like a crew cut) and not see any scar or just might want to shave their head, not likely for […]

Propecia isn’t going to cement every hair into your scalp, and by that I mean if you pull on your hair, you will still see some come out. That is normal. I don’t know if you are responding to Propecia, but if you do have regrowth I’d expect they wouldn’t be weak after some time. […]
I don’t know anything about your hair loss history, but early crown hair loss is typical of male pattern baldness, which means it may be caused by your genetics. The loss you’re seeing could be unrelated to the dreadlocks. Then again, the dreadlocks wouldn’t be helping the situation, as you’re running the risk of developing […]
When you lose hair at the hairline, the hairs rarely grow back (even if you take Propecia). Propecia mainly slows down the shedding process. Seborrheic dermatitis is a skin condition, not a hair condition, so it shouldn’t cause hair loss. However, it might accelerate underlying MPB or you could be seeing loss if you are […]
If you do not scratch your scalp, severe seborrheic dermatitis will not cause hair loss. If you scratch it, then all bets are off, as traction alopecia can result.
You were not doing yourself justice with making tight rubber bands pull on your scalp. This can cause traction alopecia. In your case though, I can’t tell you what is going on with your scalp without seeing you directly. Are you balding all elsewhere or just one hairless spot? Are there local areas that are […]
Chemicals (like relaxers) can cause damage, but many black women will also see traction alopecia, which is permanent hair loss caused by the pulling of tight braids, many times from when they were very young. For women, the only FDA approved hair loss treatment is Rogaine (minoxidil). Hormone replacement likely won’t regrow your hair and […]
While I do hope we see a cure for hair loss at some point, we’ve all been hearing the same story for decades. Who knows — 30 years from now, people might be having a conversation about how foolish we were in 2010 for hoping the cure was right around the corner. As for the […]
I do not believe that there is a maturing hairline for women, but some form of reshaping of the hairline may be seen. In women who have had considerable plastic surgery, the corners of the frontal hairline often thin so significantly that I perform fill-in procedures for that area. Another possibility is as you suggested […]
Cyberhair was developed by Aderans, a large maker of wigs and owner of hair transplant chains Bosley and Medical Hair Restoration (which has recently merged under the Bosley name). It’s just a type of synthetic hair fiber that is braided to your existing hair, a technique that has been around for many years. The biggest […]
If the hat is not pulling on your hair, taking it off and putting it on over and over again should not cause any impact. Same goes for hair nets. Basically, if something is tugging on your hair for extended periods of time, that is when you run the risk of developing traction alopecia, which […]
I really cannot comment on those websites, because I am not an expert at wigs or hair systems. I do know some are great and some patients love them. You must factor in the cost, maintenance, replacement, and possible further hair loss as a direct result of using the hair systems/wigs (from the pulling, called […]
I too have psoriasis and had a hair transplant twice. The psoriasis did not impact the hair transplant or vice versa. I wrote about this very topic in one of my earliest blog posts way back 5 years ago — Scalp Psoriasis and Transplants. It’s worth noting that I doubt the psoriasis caused your hair […]
Snippet from the article: Read the rest at DailyMail UK — Just WHERE has Naomi Campbell’s hair gone? This appears to be a bad case of traction alopecia, but perhaps she has alopecia areata? I couldn’t say without an exam. Traction alopecia is likely based on the wigs/weaves she has worn over the years in […]
Any stress could potentially cause hair loss (called telogen effluvium), and certainly the emotional and physical toll of war is among those stressors. I couldn’t say with any degree of certainty that your hair will regrow again, but if you saw regrowth the last time you were home, I’d hope you’d see the same regrowth […]
