called Traction Alopecia. Traction Alopecia has many names, but some of the more
commonly used are anxiety hair pulling, hair pulling addiction, hair

Generally, short hairstyles minimizes the look of hair loss. For women, hair extensions are another good alternative to mask hair loss. However, hair extensions are not cheap. Try and avoid tight hairstyles, including braids,
buns, cornrows, pigtails or ponytails. If you do wear one of these hair
styles, try and change your hair so the hair style puts as little
pressure and stress on your scalp and hair as possible. Also try to change the hair style, or the way you set
your hair. Wearing the same hair style for years that pulls on the hair
in the same way and direction can cause hair loss, known as Traction
Alopecia. For hair accessories, like clips,
hairpins and rubber bands, choose the smoothes one you can find. Hair accessories worn too tightly can break your hair. A good alternative to rubber bands are fabric
scrunchies, as these hold the hair more loosely. Also, try not to wear
them in the same place every day, but alter their positions.
