Abstract
Traction alopecia is a type of hair loss caused due to mechanical trauma to the hair by traumatic hairstyling with continued long term traction. This can be secondary to social, cultural, religious or occupational practices. The hair loss depends on the extent, force and the duration of the traction. This non-scarring form of hair loss if not addressed early can lead to permanent scarring alopecia. In most of the patients, this is an accidental diagnosis especially in school going girls in India where they need to tie tight braids as a part of their curriculum. In this article, we report a case series of traction alopecia with emphasis on its early diagnosis, clinical features and management
