Traction alopecia is hair loss that's caused by repeatedly pulling on your hair. You can develop traction alopecia if you often wear your hair in a tight ponytail, bun, or braids, especially if you use chemicals or heat on your hair. It can be reversed if you stop pulling your hair back. But if you don't intervene soon enough, the hair loss may be permanent. #hairloss #hairfall #ponytail | Dr. Farzan
