Hair loss caused by trauma (Traction Alopecia)

Your hair loss may have nothing to do with pregnancy or genetic conditions at all. If you’ve recently had your hair in tight hairstyles, had certain beauty treatments, or treated your hair roughly, you may have what’s called traction alopecia.

Inflammation of hair follicles can lead to hair shedding and loss. In some cases, your follicles may scar, leading to permanent hair loss.
