Self-Inflicted Alopecia ?

One of the thing that a black woman has going on for herself is her ability to turn her hair into a piece of art. You name it, she can wear it.
Unfortunately, the relaxing, bleaching, curling, pressing, braiding, weaving can take a toll on her beautiful crown.

In the USA, traction alopecia is most common in African-American women due to their hair styles
The culprits
* Relaxers
* Chemical treatments, Hair dyes, bleaches
* Poor and continuous wear of micro braids
* Tight cornrows
* Tight ponytails (especially with rubber bands )
* Any styles that would put stress on the hairline

How to stop Alopecia before it becomes irreversible?
The key to stopping traction alopecia is detecting it early. Hairstyles that put unnecessary strain on the hair root must be changed for "looser, more gentle hair style.

* Wear you hair natural
* Switch to larger size braids
* Don’t wear braids for more than two months
* Wear your hair down as much as possible, so you’re not putting any stress on your hairline
* Opt for sewn-in weaves instead of weaves with glue; and leave out the hair around your edges

Alopecia is serious business; please do not sacrifice the health of your hair for a cute hairstyle. Unfortunately, no medical treatment is available to reverse late-stage traction alopecia. Hair grafts have been identified as the only practical solution.
