Answer: Hair loss by shears This type of hair loss is essentially a type of traction alopecia. It is temporary and you should return close to the density as before the shears were used. It might not be 100 % matching because traction can sometimes accelerate genetic hair loss a bit. Long standing traction hair loss can be permanent but not a one time event like described If concerned be sure to see a hair specialist for consideration of minoxidil (can speed regrowth of traction) and possibly topical steroids (can also help early or "acute" traction hair loss

Answer: Hair pulled out I had a patient of mine who was mugged and held by his hair and beat up. After they broke his rib and his nose, they through him on the ground and pulled out a fist-full of hair that they were holding. It was his entire transplanted frontal hair that I did. He would not go to a hospital but came to my office, a bloody mess. I told him not to worry, all of his hair would grow back in about 6 months. And it did, all of it. So don't worry, one pull out of hair will not kill the hair and it will come back
