Heather Pierrefonds, Quebec Dear Heather: The problem you are most likely experiencing is one I see quite often on Black women who come to our salon looking streaming for answers on thinning hair, especially at the hairline and temple areas when they have been wearing a tension hair style, such as braids, as you have for years. The name for this condition is traction streaming alopecia. This literally means: loss of hair (alopecia) from sustained pulling or tension (traction). This can occur to areas of the scalp where streaming over a period of time too great a tension has been placed on the hair follicles - where the roots are located, and they are torn out of the head. When this happens, you may not notice it, but these hairs are quite different from the 50-100 hairs you lose every day that is a normal part of the hair growth cycle. These hairs have been ripped from their sockets and if you could see a magnified view of the follicles where this has happened you would see cellular damage and trauma in this area.
