Question: What is traction alopecia?

My Answer: It's where a constant pulling or tugging of the hair overtime causes hair loss.

Traction alopecia can even happen due to tight hairstyles daily! Such as from tight braided or any tight hairstyles.

The best thing to do to prevent traction alopecia is to be gentle with your hair even as you style it.
