The doctors said that my hair had been pulled too tight for too long and that the bald spots and stripes that I was seeing were a condition called traction alopecia. I was so sad, but they told me about a new traction alopecia treatment. It came just in the nick of time too. I was so embarrassed leaving the house every day. I used to go out in my man’s baseball hat, or wear a rag.
I never liked wearing a rag though because I have pretty big hair now and it can be tough to get it to all stay in. I never liked wearing my man’s cap either because, to be honest, he looks foolish without it. I had asked my girl about extensions or a weave because she works at a salon but she said they wouldn’t work well for me. My next step was going to be to cut my real hair real short and wear a wig. Thank goodness I found this traction alopecia treatment when I did or I might have done something drastic.
