Every fifth child with “softened” hair has “traction alopecia”, while children whose hair is not exposed to any effects suffer from this disease only in 1 case in 20. Children whose hair is “softened” or straightened with chemicals to form a “tail” are at an increased risk of baldness.
Also, they claim that such hairstyles increase the risk of infection in the bloodstream. Researchers at the University of Cape Town have linked this disease to popular hairstyles among black men, which are associated with frequent shaving of the hair at the back of the head. One in ten African males is diagnosed with a skin condition known as occipital keloid scars, which leads to acne and scarring, as well as baldness of the neck. A survey of about 2,000 children and adults in South Africa showed that one in seven school-age girls and one in three women suffer from “traction alopecia”, a condition that manifests itself in hair loss and develops as a result of prolonged and strong hair tension.
