Any treatment for traction alopecia other than avoiding traction?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really.: Dermatologists have certain prescription medications at their disposal that might speed up regrowth of hair lost through traction or other causes. But the primary cure for traction alopecia, as you suspected, is not tying or braiding your hair tightly.
