One-third of Black women experience traction alopecia, and while its often caused by certain hairstyles, it's also driven by genetics.
She notes that while fibroids are linked to CCCA, they're not responsible for actually causing the condition."It's just the same trait that caused the hair loss is the same trait likely that caused the fibroids, which is an abnormal scarring response, like keloids," says Dr. Strachan."They think that In West Africa, that response may be protective against a certain type of parasites.
That said, even if you don't feel anything from your protective styles, they may still come with a risk of pulling at your scalp."Most people with heavy dreadlocks don't complain about being in pain, but if your dreadlocks are down to your hips, you need to tie them up and not have all that weight supported by the few hairs that are still attached to your head. It's like boiling a frog one degree at a time.
But if time goes on and you don't change your routine to treat this traction alopecia, traditional scarring alopecia can set in."It's not anything that sneaks up on you," says Dr. Yates."We're not talking months, we're talking years. It takes years to go from traction to scarring alopecia."
