Traction alopecia is a form of alopecia, or gradual hair loss, caused primarily by pulling force being applied to the hair. This commonly results from the sufferer frequently wearing his or her hair in a particularly tight ponytail, pigtails, or braids.
Interestingly, it is also seen occasionally in long-haired toy dogs whose owners use barrettes to keep hair out of their faces.
