Traction alopecia is hair loss caused by repeated pulling or tension on the hair. Tight ponytails, braids, extensions, and other styles that put consistent stress on the hair follicles can contribute to thinning, especially around the hairline and temples.
The important part? Traction alopecia can become permanent if the follicles are repeatedly damaged. Recognizing the signs early and reducing tension can help protect the hair you still have. If you’re noticing changes around your hairline, it may be worth having them evaluated.
