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.

We can map priority zones and plan a 3–6 session induction aligned to the Hair Growth Cycle, then maintain every 3–6 months—see PRP Sessions and expected milestones in PRP Results Timeline.

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.
