For the past 6 months I've pretty much worn my long thick hair in a casual bun everyday on the top of my head so it stays out of my way. Recently I've noticed that the hair was thinning on the top of my head towards the back where the bun would sit. My scalp under the affected area felt tight and sore too recently when I've worn it down. Now I'm really panicking . From the bit of research I've done this could be down to something Called traction which is hair loss caused by permeant damage to the hair follicles from tight hair styles.
I've read that Regain may help to stimulate regrowth if the damage isn't too far gone (but some of the reviews on Amazon are also slightly worrying), and also read about a caffeine shampoo that gets good reviews called Plantar 39.
Has anyone tried these products? Or had experience with this type of hair loss? Or hair loss in general as I've noticed I am loosing a lot of hair when I blowdry (a good handfull)
