How Do Dreadlocks Cause Traction Alopecia for Black Men?
Traction Alopecia causes gradual hair loss over time, primarily caused by consistent hair pulling and addition weight being applied to hair repetitively, over a sustained period. The hair loss is initially discrete but has the potential to become severe and painfully visible if not treated and if hair styling practices aren’t adjusted. Men who wear dreadlocks, especially long locs, suffer from Traction Alopecia because the weight of the bonded hair puts strain and pressure of the hair bulb and scalp.
Also, because Afro hair is kinky the cuticles do not lay flat because of the curved nature of the shaft. Dreadlocks defy the natural curls/kink of afro hair through the processes of locking and re-twisting, which involves pulling and tugging, potentially causing the hair bulb to gradually separate from the hair follicle over a period of time causing sustained hair loss and hair thinning.
Repetitive and sustained pulling of your hair through re-twisting causes tension around the hair follicles which can result in inflammation which can cause scarring around the scalp and permanent hair loss or balding.
