Traction Alopecia is Up
Celebrity women suffer from hair loss just like you do. Naomi Campbell has been suffering from hair loss due to hair weaves. She’s balding in the front hairline with an inch of noticeable hair loss. Years of pulling hair too tight in weaving braids stress the hair and cause hair loss, known as traction alopecia.
Symptoms
Traction alopecia is a gradual female hair loss caused by pulling the hair using braids, weaving, or hair extensions. Traction alopecia shows up as hair recedes at the hairline.
- Gradual hair loss in areas where hair was pulled
- Scalp soreness
- Itching
- Scaling
- Scalp redness is a sign of inflammation of hair follicles
- Infected blisters on the scalp
Many African American women wear their hair tightly pulled back or tight braids that cause hair breakage and roots. Hair weaves can cause female traction alopecia. The irony is that many use hair weave to conceal hair loss, but they cause more extensive hair loss.
How to Save Your Hair
What can women do about traction alopecia hair loss? Female hair loss can be devastating, but there are treatments. The American Academy of Dermatology says that your dermatologist should determine the cause of your hair loss. Sometimes, the hair will begin to re-grow on its own.
- If it’s traction alopecia, you must change your hairstyling and allow the hair to start re-growing. If you see no growth within three months, there are several hair loss solutions to consider, said Marvin Friedman, hair restoration specialist in Dallas.
- The most common option for female hair loss is a natural human hair wig. Find a good quality wig with 100% European hair. You get what you pay for, so ditch the money and look right. A good wig should match your scalp pattern and looks realistic with a look of your hair growth.
- Another option is medical laser hair therapy which will take a year to complete. FDA studies with MEP-90 have shown that 98% of participants have had some measurable hair growth.
- When looking at hair transplant, the harvesting donor area should be dense to cover the scalp of the balding area.
- “The key is to detect the signs early and start treatments at the earliest possible stage of the hair loss,” explains Marvin Friedman Nu Hair of Dallas, Texas, hair restoration expert.
