A member asked:

Got a braid/sewin in two years go and my hair fallout completely bald in one spot what should i do? it wont grow back.

Get checked: Alopecia and bald spots can sometimes be due to the tension/braid. Sometimes physicians will check for infections or other causes. Perhaps your doctor can evaluate you for this and possibly prescribe minoxidil. Good luck
