    GlossaryTraction Alopecia

    hair loss from prolonged tension or pulling on hair

    Traction Alopecia is a type of hair loss caused by prolonged tension or pulling on the hair. This condition often results from hairstyles that tightly pull the hair, such as braids, ponytails, or extensions, leading to damage and eventual loss of hair follicles. If the tension is not alleviated, the hair loss can become permanent.
