Traction alopecia.. It is hair loss that's caused by repeatedly pulling on your hair.

Traction alopecia can be reversed if you stop pulling your hair back.. It is a form of acquired hair loss that results from prolonged or repetitive tension on the scalp hair. It was first described in 1907 in subjects from Greenland who had developed hair loss along the hairline due to prolonged wearing of tight ponytails.. Avoid tight hairstyles if possible.. Avoid or limit chemicals, including relaxers. Steroid creams can reduce swelling .

I am suffering from Alopecia from last several years. My age is 37 years. I have used Patanjali Reetha Shampoo, as I have oily scalp. But It has increased my hair-fall. Do any shampoo or hairoil really work?? Or they are just 1000 Crore Business?? My few images of the scalp. I want the advice of Experts like Dermatologists/Cosmetologists/Trichologists. I have taken all vitamin supplements & there is NO Family History of Alopecia. Is there anything, which I can do to prevent any further hair-fall??
