At Tricho Labs, we believe that hair health is about more than just products – it's about understanding the habits and causes behind hair loss. Traction Alopecia is one of the most preventable types of hair thinning, caused by repeated tension and stress on the hair and scalp. Our Hair Loss Serum has been formulated with soothing, follicle-supporting ingredients that help calm the scalp, strengthen weakened roots, and encourage healthier regrowth. Whether you're recovering from years of tight styles or looking to protect your hair for the future, our approach is restorative, science-led, and tailored for real results. Treat your scalp kindly – your hair will thank you.
Traction Alopecia develops when hair is subjected to prolonged tension or pulling, often caused by tight hairstyles such as braids, buns, ponytails, cornrows, or extensions. Over time, this tension can damage the hair follicles, leading to inflammation, breakage, and eventually hair thinning or bald patches, especially around the hairline, temples, and nape of the neck.
Unlike some other forms of hair loss, Traction Alopecia is mechanical, not hormonal or genetic. This means it’s often avoidable – but if left untreated, long-term tension can lead to permanent follicle damage and scarring. Early recognition and lifestyle changes are key to reversing the condition.
Constant pulling on the scalp can cause inflammation around the follicles, disrupting their ability to grow strong, healthy hair. The pressure may also weaken the hair shaft and cause strands to snap at the root. Over time, affected follicles may shrink or become dormant, leading to patchy or thinning areas that can be slow to recover.
In advanced stages, particularly if the stress continues, follicular scarring (known as cicatricial alopecia) can occur, making regrowth more difficult. That’s why intervention and scalp support as early as possible is essential to preserve and protect hair density.
Traction Alopecia can often be reversed with consistent scalp care and changes to styling routines. Here’s how to start:
Healthy styling practices, when paired with targeted care, can significantly reduce ongoing damage and support long-term regrowth.
