Hair Loss | Traction Alopecia - Prevention and Treatment Options
Traction Alopecia is extremely common, especially in girls and women of African descent. It is also common among ballerinas and Sikh boys and men. If discovered early, hair loss is reversible. In today's episode, we look at prevention and treatment options. It should not be confused with central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia. I have included references below for your reading pleasure.
Have a blessed week!
