| Can my hair style cause my hair to fall out ? | ||

Certain hairstyles can
contribute to hair loss, most notably styles involving tight braids or
pull-backs.
This form of hair loss is called traction alopecia. This occurs when the hair is pulled tightly back and fastened at the base of the skull, or braided into tight braids or rows. Exposure to this type of hairstyle over long periods can result in a scarring alopecia, with no potential for regrowth. |
