Traction Alopecia Awareness

I don't have any personal experience with Traction Alopecia but I do know that it's an avoidable condition. In a nutshell it is when too much pressure (or pulling) is applied to the scalp when doing hairstyles, etc. Anyway, I would like to help spread the word and raise awareness!

Please read these two posts from two GREAT hair blogs for more information and then check out Traction-Alopecia.com!

So make sure that you are very gentle in your styling and do not pull the hair too tight! If your child says it hurts - believe them!! (Traction Alopecia can occur without pain, too, so that is not the only indicator to go by.)

Have a Happy Saturday!
