Traction alopecia

follow up to previous article:

the tight braiding that is fashionable in Black women can cause traction alopecia.

this is when the hair follicle is stressed by the hair being pulled: by tight braids, by it's own weight (e.g. long hair) from extentions, from hair weaving, from Pony tails, buns, and even local pressure from tight hats.
