Hair Extensions Leads To Baldness

air Styling

Women who regularly use hair extensions have a greater risk of developing bald spots or receded hairline.

Hair restoration surgeon, Dr Bessam Farjo said girls as young as 25 develop bald spots trying to ape celebrity styles. Hair transplant surgery is the only solution girls are left with.

The surgeon explained the condition as “traction alopecia" where hair loss is caused when extensions exert constant tension over a long period on the scalp and hair follicles.

Hair transplant surgery may look like an extreme solution but it is the only way to restore hair permanently. Actress Jennifer Aniston also recently said that nothing destroys your hair faster than extensions.
