My hairline is suffering from Traction Alopecia, will it ever fully recover? (photo)

January 28, 2015
Asked By:Nightrogen in Lodi, CA

I am 16 years old and a boy. I used to have long hair ever since I was a child and that hair would be tied as a bun on top of my head. I got a haircut last year in May for the 1st time in life. That's when I noticed how serious this problem was. Its been about 8-months now and I have not seen any major hair growth in those areas. My questions is, will shaving my hairline help?(as I have not shaved before). I can't do a hair transplant for obvious reasons. Is there any hope for me? Thanks!
