Loss of hair around the hair line in women can be avoided. In most cases ithappens because the hair has been braided too tightly, which exerts pressure on the hair follicles. If this pressure is persistent, scar tissue can form and the hair follicles will disappear. However, if you follow these three simple rules you can prevent permanent hair loss.

• Do not braid your hair immediately after relaxing

• Ensure your hair is long enough to braid

• Do not pull your braids too tight – there should be no pain during or after the braiding process. If you feel pain, take the braids out immediately
