I’m 18, female and I had my hair backcombed for dreadlocks. They were very tight and after four days I combed out my hair. Both the backcombing and combing-out process made me lose some hair. Do I have traction alopecia and will my hair grow back like it was before?
I would doubt that traction over a 4 days period will cause hair loss. If you lost any hair, it may take a few months for the hair to grow back in.
