Baldness, scientifically, referred to as alopecia , is partial or complete loss of hair on the scalp and/or other areas of body. This condition comes in many forms but the kind that is caused by wearing certain hair styles is called as "Traction Alopecia ".
Your hair styling methods and tools can cause significant hair damage and hair loss. Let us take a look at the hair styles that are not good for us.
1. PONYTAILS:
The easiest way to keep hair from your face is to gather it towards the back or top of head and holdout together with a tie. Women who wear pony tail often complain that their hair is no longer growing , intact hair is repeatedly broken at a same distance from scalp due to trauma caused by rubber band. Although this hairstyle is most convenient to maintain , but this has its disadvantages. When hair is pulled back in a pony tail , the hair at margins of scalp tend to receive greatest tensile force , and hair loss becomes most noticeable on the scalp margins and outermost hairs of the braid. Once lost, this leads to receding hair line and widening of part lines and leads to Frontal and Parietal Hair Loss.
2. TWISTING HAIR INTO A BUN ON THE TOP OF HEAD:
Constant tugging at the roots leads to multiple hair breaking off. Unlike a hair pluck which is painful, persistent gentle pulling on roots may go unnoticed until bald spots or alopecia starts to appear. In long run, it can lead to “Horseshoe Alopecia” in the centre of scalp.
3. TIGHT BRAIDING IN CORNROWS:
Braids are popular among African- American races. It leads to marginal or central alopecia with widening of part lines.
4. BRUSH ROLLERS:
These rollers can cause pulling on the hair and patches of hair loss. If applied too tightly produce irregular shape of alopecia.
5. WEAVES:
An artificial way to make short hair appear longer and thicker. This is achieved through the use of “hair extensions” that are either woven or glued. Hair extensions add extra weight to existing hairs and cause roots to be pulled upon. Hair extensions strains the hair, damages the scalp and cause scarring. They may provide temporary boost to your confidence but they can make you a candidate for permanent alopecia.
