Hair Braiding and Traction Alopecia – Hair Loss Information by Dr. William Rassman

I heard that plaiting hair causes traction alopecia. I wanted to know if there was a way I could plait my hair with this being prevented.

When you put a pull to your hair on a chronic basis, you have the possibility to develop traction alopecia. Everyone is different in terms of how long and how much pulling you have to have to get hair loss, but there is no doubt that it probably will happen over time.
