Why are your temples sparse?
Do you often wear hairstyles with extensions? They are very practical to let the hair rest or change the head. But these hairstyles, often called protective, can become destructive if you do not pay attention. And the first victims are the hair on your temples.
When the hair is torn off the root, creating a bald spot, this is called traction alopecia.

Hairstyle in Pakistan or perform them inadequately. Alopecia of pulls especially affects the hair temples because this part of the afro hair is very fragile and breaks easily. Moreover, if the hair is very often pulled, torn and broken, the root becomes too damaged, and unfortunately, the fall can be permanent. On relaxed hair, the risk of alopecia is even greater! So how to avoid this?
How to prevent traction alopecia
Hairstyles with extensions are the main cause of traction alopecia, especially when they are too tight and put constant pressure on the hairline. We, therefore, advise you to:
- Avoid very tight braids and extensions at the hairline
- Avoid very small extensions (pique dropped for example)
- Avoid extensions that are very heavy to wear
- Do not frequently repeat the same hairstyles with extensions
- Do not keep your extensions too long (max 1 month)
- Avoid Making Hairstyles with Extensions on children
- Avoid hairstyles where the hair is constantly brushed
As you will understand, the extensions must be used to protect your hair and not to destroy them, so use them in moderation!
