Better believe it...look at Whoopi Goldberg (not that anyone would want to). She now has a receding hair line because of wearing corn rolls in her hair.

ALL TRUE!...But does heredity have anything to do with it?....Duh? According to dermatologists, this form of alopecia is caused by traction.
traction alopecia, traumatic alopecia due to continuous or prolonged traction on the hair, as applied in certain styles of hair dressing or in the habit of twisting the hair.
There are many types of alopecia.

Weight loss also causes hair loss, but I'm much happier at 50 lbs lighter. Woo Hoo! FYI, those dieting and seeing excess hair in the drain and in your brush might try Biotin suppliments.

Very true...in caucasians constant pulling of the hair into a pony tail or bun can do the same thing. Guys...don't wear those baseball caps all the time either. And don't fry your scalp with the blow dryer...aim at the hair. End of hair 101...from PaMom.
Happy New Year!

I tried biotin by itself and suffered from restless leg syndrom. When I cut out the biotin and started taking a B complex (with all the B vitamins in it), the restless leg syndrom went away.
