Traction Alopecia symptoms? Ways to tell if hairstyle could cause it?

Is there a way to tell if the hairstyle you are using could cause traction Alopecia? For example, do you feel scalps pain, see scars or redness, clumps of hair, etc? I usually have my hair in a loose bun or braid, and don't feel any discomfort in my head doing it this way. I have had this hair style for 3 years and have noticed no change in my hair, but is it possible this hairstyle will cause traction Aloperica for me in the long run, or would I see some signs before the aloperica happens?
