  • Tight weaves, braids and crotchet hairstyles.  This will cause stress to the edges and hair to fall out.
  • Chemicals from excessive relaxing and coloring.
  • Head ties that make the edges too stretched out will stop blood circulation on your scalp and start to create bald edges around the hairline.
  • Smoothing your puff too tight every single day will eventually lead to thinning edges.
  • Dry edges  hair that is not moisturized will cause hair to come off when you brush the edges
  • Scalp Demartitis – is an inflammation of the scalp that can lead to itchy, flaky skin and redness. Then hair stops growing in those areas.
  • Scalp psoriasis – it’s believed to result from an abnormality of the immune system that causes skin cells to grow too quickly and build up as patches, then hair stops growing.
