This can be caused by tight hairstyles, such as braids, cornrows, and weaves. Black women are more likely to experience traction alopecia than women of other races because they are more likely to wear these types of hairstyles. Traction alopecia can cause a variety of symptoms, including: Hair loss Scalp pain Scalp inflammation Itching Bumps on the scalp In some cases, traction alopecia can be permanent. If you are experiencing any of the symptoms of traction alopecia, it is important to see a doctor or dermatologist. They can diagnose the condition and recommend treatment options. There are a number of things that you can do to prevent traction alopecia, including: Wearing looser hairstyles Avoiding hairstyles that put a lot of tension on the hair follicles Taking breaks from wearing tight hairstyles Using a leave-in conditioner to help protect the hair from damage Getting regular trims to remove split ends If you have already experienced traction alopecia, there are a number of treatment options available, including: Medications to promote hair growth Laser therapy Scalp micropigmentation If you are concerned about traction alopecia, talk to your doctor or dermatologist.
