After noticing I had two bald spots on both sides of my head I did some research and decided I had Tractic Alopecia. I stopped with the hairband/hair tie and started pinning it up with bobby pins, my hair started to grow back but not where the bald spots were, but closer to the temples I have a lott of new hair. I decided that the long hair wasn’t helping since I wear it up and it’s a lot of work to wear it down on a daily basis so I cut it recently, about half of it off. I wear my hair down more often and I hope my hair grows back. I haven’t seen any results yet. I did go to a dermatologist but he didn’t understand and gave me some medication and a certain shampoo but that didn’t help so I stopped. I noticed that washing my hair less and using a natural shampoo definitely helped me with the hair loss.
