Let’s talk Traction Alopecia

Traction alopecia is a form of hair loss caused by ongoing tension on the hair follicles, often linked to tight hairstyles such as braids, weaves or ponytails. Over time, this strain can lead to thinning or permanent loss;  most commonly along the hairline or temples. At MedHair, treatment is tailored to your individual case and may be non-surgical or surgical. In more advanced stages, healthy donor follicles can be precisely transplanted to restore natural density and refine the hairline. Every case is carefully assessed to ensure the most appropriate, medically guided approach 💇🏾‍♀️ To book a consultation or learn more, visit our website here.

Hairstyles that can cause permanent follicle damage

Hairstyles such as tight braids, ponytails, buns and extensions can cause ongoing tension on hair follicles — leading to traction alopecia. Over time, this can cause permanent follicle damage and irreversible hair loss. Looser styles and breaks between tension-heavy looks help protect scalp health 💇🏾‍♀️ Book a consultation today to reclaim your hairline with personalised care and precision.
