Hair Loss Condition: Traction Alopecia at a Glance

From hippy plaits, preppy ponytails, classic braids, chic buns, to punk rock Mohawk, there’s no question that hairstyles—like elaborate dresses, trendy shoes and elegant bags—are part of fashion and beauty.  True enough, hairstyle fashion is one aspect of personal grooming that people take into great consideration. 

Millions of people especially women, young or old, are known for changing hairstyles without even knowing that some of these styles may cause hair loss. 

Known as traction alopecia, this type of hair loss occurs as a result of repeated pulling of the hair. The pulling forces applied on the hair during harsh brushing or tight hairstyling are the causes of traction alopecia. Traction alopecia or scarring alopecia is more common among children, teens and young adults.  It usually affects the areas around the edge of the hairline making the hair loss noticeable around the face and the forehead. This is also characterized by red bumps, infections, papules and pustules. 

Besides tight hairstyles, another cause of traction alopecia is over-using of hair products with certain chemicals (dyes, bleaches, and strengtheners) and thermal treatments (hair irons, curlers, and blow dryers). The chemicals present in these products are harsh for the hair making them brittle, fragile and weak while the heat from heating hair tools may be harmful to the hair shafts causing them to break out easily.

Moreover, people who attach hairpieces on their hair and don’t bother to remove them for long periods of time may also suffer with this type of hair loss. Traction alopecia occurs gradually and in most cases it’s reversible. However, severe forms of traction alopecia may cause permanent hair loss.

Traction alopecia can be stopped if it is diagnosed at an early stage. People who are suffering from this condition should take immediate action and consult a doctor as soon as possible to prevent its progression. Aside from that, tight hairstyles that put extra pressure on the roots of the hair causing them to break out should be avoided at all cost. Hair loss sufferers should also switch to loose and gentle hairstyles that are not harsh on the hair follicles.

These are simple hair care tips, which only require a little effort on your side to prevent experiencing traction alopecia. Some traction alopecia patients expect quick results once they have stopped doing tight hairstyles. This would not be the case since it takes several months or years for the hair to recover from this severe hair loss condition. 

The best way to treat hair loss related to traction alopecia is with the help of a strict hair care regimen and avoiding hairstyles that are too tight. Once the causes and factors that contribute to this type of hair loss are remedied, you will eventually see that your hair is going back to its natural hair growth cycle.

Now, thinking about having to go through all the troubles of repurchasing almost every other month so as not to miss one treatment session, don't you just wish there is a complete hair restoration program that will spare you from all the inconvenience in a hair loss regimen?

Leimo introduces a complete hair restoration system that will ensure continuous treatment and which you can enjoy in the comforts of your home all year long: the Leimo Hair Clinic in a Box.

Leimo, one of the leading specialists in home-based hair loss management and hair restoration, rolls out a better alternative to hair clinics and hair loss medications which the Hair Clinic in a Box.

The Leimo Hair Clinic in a Box is exactly how it sounds. It is a bundle that contains a home-based solution similar to what hair clinics and salons offer but slash the physical and economic hassles.

More exactly, the Leimo HCB is a synergistic collection of organic-based topical essentials including the Leimo Bio Cleansing Shampoo, Leimo Thickening Conditioner, Leimo Scalp & Body Scrub, Leimo Scalp Therapy Day Treatment, Leimo Scalp Serum Night Treatment; and a high-end medical device called the Personal Hair Laser - all of which are sufficiently packed together in a bundle to make you all set for the next twelve months.

This Leimo hair loss solution will target the main cause of the problem and restore the hair safely, effectively, and naturally. It is clinically proven safe and effective for use against mild to moderate cases of androgenetic alopecia, or pattern baldness in men and women.

Leimo's topical hair care essentials are formulated with powerful essences of organic ingredients such as Saw Palmetto, Grape seed, Nettle, and Rosemary to remove/reduce levels of Dihydrotestosterone, or better known as DHT, in the scalp. DHT is the main culprit behind androgenetic alopecia, or pattern baldness in men and women. DHT will deprive the follicles of adequate nutrition, thus shrinking the follicles which, in turn, will result in hair loss.

Aside from hair loss, the hair quality will also deteriorate as a result of the malnutrition of the follicles. Through their powerful organic formulation, these hair care essentials will also restore the thickness, fullness, and health of the hair.

The Leimo Personal Hair Laser component is designed to regenerate hair at a cellular level through the process called photobiostimulation. The laser comb device employs the principles of Low Level Laser Therapy and Light Emitting Diode Therapy - which will improve the blood circulation to the scalp and especially revitalise hair follicles that have remained dormant due to DHT build-up. Completing the device's overall strength, the stimulating bar made of urethane rubber will provide an acupuncture effect and massages the blood vessels, hence assisting in improving the scalp circulation as well.
