Will Skinny Headbands Cause Losing Hair In That Area?
hello, so I have a oval shaped bald spot right in my bang line, Ive had it about a month and am now noticing that my hair is starting to grow back. what would this be and what could have caused it? I am wondering if wearing the skinny headbands could have ripped out my hair?

Hi,
Yes, hairband will cause Traction alopecia, is a type of hair loss where the hair thins out after prolonged stress on that area. I advised you, immediately reduce the traction and left it out freely.
Topical Minoxidil 5% night times for 3 months will restore your hair as usual. good Nutrition.
Ideal shampoo and oil on hairs timely and good hygiene will give better results.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
