Traction alopecia (TA) affects up to 32% of women and 22% of high school girls with Afro-textured hair but can start in the preschool years. Traction induces inflammation and follicle damage. The risk of TA increases with symptomatic traction and combined hairstyles. To influence the practice of hairdressers and at risk individuals and help narrow the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) gap, scientific data should be translated into simple messages like "tolerate pain from a hairstyle and risk hair loss" and "no braids or weaves on relaxed hair". With appropriate education and public awareness, TA could potentially be eradicated.
牵拉性脱发(TA)影响高达 32%的女性和 22%的具有非洲裔发质的高中女生,但也可能在学龄前开始。牵拉会引起炎症和毛囊损伤。有症状的牵拉和组合发型会增加 TA 的风险。为了影响发型师的实践和高危人群,并帮助缩小知识、态度和实践(KAP)差距,科学数据应该转化为简单的信息,如“忍受发型的疼痛,就有脱发的风险”和“在拉直的头发上不要编辫子或编织”。通过适当的教育和公众意识,TA 有可能被根除。
