Wigs and moisturizing is what saved me lol I’m so sad I can’t wear braids anymore and if I do it has to be for 3 weeks tops

At this stage, I think I'm in-between 1 and 2 but I've seen some improvement since being consistent with just scalp massages and a regular routine. I've decided to stay away from styles with tension for the next month (forever honestly) and do consistent daily scalp massages with a rosemary oil blend (with a carrier oil and still doing my routine of weekly washes, bi-weekly protein treatments and deep conditioning). I intend to use Minoxidil after this first month in addition to the rosemary blend (Minoxidil + scalp massage in the morning, rosemary blend + scalp massage at night). Wish me luck :)

Hey I was wondering I believe I am going through the same thing, and just wanted to ask about your progress because I was thinking about taking the same route and some tips if you could provide.

@@yonisfarah6999 Hiya! This is what I do now: -Bi-weekly deep condition and protein treatments (I just switch which one I do week to week) -I stimulate my scalp with a massage and Chapter 2000 because it tingles lol. I do this every 2 or 3 days -I shampoo weekly -I trim once every 6 months (my goal is to retain length) -I moisturize my hair every 3 days and make sure to seal my ends with oil -When I protective style with braiding hair , I keep it for 6 weeks at most and make sure to keep up with washing and doing my condition and protein treatments -When sleeping, I keep my hair in a silk scarf or put a silk pillowcase on I’ve noticed my hair is much healthier, thicker and longer now and I have less breakage. I hope this helps :)

Idk if anyone else heard this myth but in my city I’ve always heard to pull ur hair tight so it’ll grow. So box braids were popular. I have thin hair line from tight high ponytails 😩. I didn’t learn about traction alopecia till recently.

Hi doctor I have a question. Do you remember the sew ins we used to do in circle? I have a patch right there and I was also burned as a kid at that place do you think the traction could also be right there?

My 9 year old daughter was diagnosed last week. It started two years ago when I started to let people braid her hair. I would leave the styles in for weeks, basically neglecting her hair. I feel horrible, and now I don’t know what styles to do. Her hair type is 4c barely shoulders length blown out.

Sadly, it was clear mine wasn't reversible, so I opted for a hair transplant.

Can you give tips for mixed hair like 3b-c hair

I don’t think texture is a factor. Tight hair styles cause traction alopecia for anyone. I have mixed texture hair.

Wigs aren't good for traction alopecia .... the lace irritates the area
