If you re like most people, you go to great lengths to make your hair more attractive. We pull on it. Stretch it. Tie it sideways and backwards. Then, we braid it. Bleach it. Color it, and curl it, and fry it with hot air. In short, it s hair follicle abuse.Never forget the thousands of healthy hair follicles we were blessed with by nature. They just aren t meant to be subjected to these kinds of artificial stresses. Something has to give and it s our hair follicles.
Traction alopecia is the technical term for hair loss caused by a prolonged tugging force against the hairline or other area of the scalp. When a long-haired man decides one day to pull his gorgeous ginger locks back and tie them into a pony tail, for example, there is now a constant yanking effect across the hairline and scalp. Over time the man s hair follicles are damaged and his hair slowly falls out, causing the hairline to recede.
Consider the thousands of men sporting hair weaves to hide a bald spot. They are at high risk of traction alopecia. That s because the hairpiece has to be tightly woven into the surrounding hair and then readjusted as the hair grows out. Years down the road that small bald spot is now double its size.
