Traction alopecia

Traction alopecia often begins around the hairline and margins after repeated tension from styling patterns.

What it is

This pattern is often considered when repeated high-tension styling affects the margins, temples, or hairline over time.

Common signs

  • Margin-focused thinning
  • Tenderness or breakage around tighter styles
  • Improvement after reducing repetitive tension
