My hair is finally back since I decided to try a traction alopecia treatment. I have been living with some bald spots on the sides of my head for several years because of the braids that I had worn since I was a teenager. I finally took the braids out only to find that the hair in the spaces between my braids wouldn’t grow anymore. I started to freak out. I didn’t know what I was going to do. I learned that the problem was called traction alopecia and that there were treatments available.
I did my homework and settled on the treatment that sounded best to me. I’m so glad that it worked. I had to wear a hat or a du rag all the time for a few months while I was waiting for my hair to regrow but now that it has I can finally have normal hairstyles again and I don’t have to feel embarrassed to leave the house anymore. Thank goodness I chose the traction alopecia that I did.
