Can you reverse hair loss from a traumatic incident? - Hair Talks by Terra Medical

Traumatic alopecia is caused by the forced removal of hair or the breaking of hair shafts as a result of friction, pressure, traction, or other physical stress. Cosmetic procedures and trichotillomania are the most common causes. Did you know that extended usage of wide-strapped heavy headphones, such as those commonly used by joggers may also cause scarring alopecia due to the prolonged usage of it?
In this episode of Hair Talks by Terra Medical, Doctor Joshua Chong will tell you all about the different types of hair loss due to trauma.

Was at work one day. we had this suspended shelf in the middle of the kitchen, where we held our plates. The table underneath was movable. So I was sweeping and mopping and this rods with bolts stuck out about a ½ inch. Didn't see it when I went to lift my head up after sweeping under it and smacked the side of my head so hard. About a week after I learned I had Traumatic Alopecia from smacking my head so hard off this bolt. Delelvoped this half circle of baldness. Took over a year to fully grow back with help of some biotin and Rogaine

Hi I was subject to an attack from A mentally ill girl and she grabbed on my hair and pulled on it agressively on a couple of strands which kind of collapsed from the root/follicle. Is this kind of force traumatic or not enough? My scalp had a burning sensation a couple of days after the attack in a couple of spots. What do you recommend?

Know its not me you ask..I suffer from diffuse alopecia..just wanted to tell my ex`s boy did once attack a girl he was friend with,and pulled hair out so she had a bald spot but hers did regrow after a year...will try onion juice myself for hairloss seen some studies just trying anything really...will personally recommend scalp-over-skull massages to increase blodflow as much as possible..

@@marialange9509 know that I value a lot the fact that you took time to read my case and answer, I will keep you updated throughout the years with the regrowth on the missing strands. As of now it’s been 5 months since the attack, I do enjoy massaging the scalp at times, I’ve heard wonders about rosemary, nettle water, ayurvedic herbs such as henna, amla and argan oil. Will try most of those
