“…If an external factor is not visible or provided in the medical history, traction alopecia can become a diagnostic challenge. It is often misdiagnosed as trichotillomania, alopecia areata, frontal fibrosing alopecia, or triangular temporal alopecia (Blanco Barbosa, Donati, Valente, & Romiti, ; Ézsöl‐Lendvai, Iñiguez‐de Onzoño, & Pérez‐Garcia, ). According to population studies in African women, prevalence of traction alopecia varies from 17.1% in young women (6–21 years) to 31.7% in older women (18–86 years) (Khumalo, Jessop, Gumedze, & Ehrlich, ).…”

Female alopecia patients in China often present with a frontal pattern hair loss. This feature is seen less frequently in western women. Women in China frequently style their hair in a ponytail.Thus, we hypothesized that the high prevalence of frontal pattern hair loss in Chinese women is due to traction alopecia. To better understand this, we studied 43 women presenting frontal alopecia at a hair clinic. Among the women presenting frontal alopecia, 79% reported styling their hair in a ponytail four or more days per week for an average period of 10 years. To our knowledge, this is the first study to elucidate the cause of frequent frontal alopecia in Chinese women. Although cultural style changes are difficult to change, we believe that awareness of the medical implications of frequent ponytail styling will reduce the rate of frontal alopecia among Chinese women.

It is a reversible condition, but if the cause persists, permanent scarring alopecia may be developed . African‐American women have a higher prevalence of traction alopecia than Caucasian women .…”
