Traction Alopecia: Causes, Symptoms and Treatment

What Is Traction Alopecia?
Traction alopecia is a type of hair loss caused by repeated tension or pulling on the hair.

It occurs when hairstyles exert sustained pressure on the hair shafts and follicles, ultimately leading to damage and hair loss.
