Traction Alopecia — Styling-Safe Tips & PRP Support
Traction alopecia happens when repeated tension from styling stresses the hair and scalp. The good news is that gentler habits can make a real difference. Where follicles are still viable, PRP can be planned as part of a supportive, low-downtime approach.
Gentle Styling Habits
- Choose looser styles and avoid daily high-tension looks.
- Alternate partings and avoid tight clips/elastics.
- Keep heat sensible and limit harsh chemical services close together.

FAQs
How soon will I notice a difference?
With gentler styling and a steady plan, many people notice calmer shedding by 6–12 weeks, then gradual improvements across 3–6 months.
Can I wear extensions?
If you do, keep tension low and schedule breaks. Prioritise scalp comfort while you follow your PRP cadence.
