Hair-Loss is no joke. If you’ve lost your hair because of a tight weave, bad perm or tight braids. STOP!
Don’t stress it Further and try to “cover” it up with more weaves, you are only exacerbating the situation!
Traction Alopecia is the medical term for Hair-Loss due to stress caused by excessive pulling and pressure on the hair. If you are expressing mild hair-loss ( eg: Kerry Washington) or severe hair-loss (eg: Naomi Campbell), it is important to take time off tugging on your hair to Re-Grow it.
Which of the following applies to you?
If your hair is slightly thinning at a particular area on your hair, like Kerry Washington, it is most likely due to excessive pulling at that particular area. In Kerry’s case, her penchant for middle part styling has left visible bald spot.
What to do
-Switch up the style, revert to side swept bangs or a weave style that covers all of your hair, while you try to stimulate the scalp to promote hair growth.
-Up your intake of BIOTIN, the B-vitamin responsible for hair growth optimization. Ideal dosage is 1000-2500 mcg dose.

I had huge bald spot like Naomi Campbell after my first baby. onion juice was the life saver for me. What I did was to grate one small onion and extract the liquid which I applied to my hairline, massage and cover with a plastic cap overnight and rinse off in the morning. In just one month, there was no more bald spots
