Hello. I’m a 32 year old african american.I’ve read your artical about braids and pulling of the hair and I do understand.I love to wear braids cause it is easier to maintain with my busy schedule. I have noticed that there are small white specks at the end of my hair where it is braided. Possibly the root i guess. I was wondering if it is the root will my hair ever grow back.
Sounds like you are pulling out the hair with the braids. They will grow back, but if the hair continues to be pulled out, then it may not grow back one day. I’ve treated many African American women for traction alopecia with hair transplants.
hello,I’m a young African American women also who is experiencing the same problems with my hair. For about1 yr know i’ve been braiding my hair in hopes of it growing longer. In a way you can say im addicted to braiding my hair because i thing that the braids will help my hair. My question is if i don’t stop braiding m hair will I lose it, or will it grow ?
