About 10 years ago, I got a sew in weave. My hair was braided way too tight and pulled my hair out. It bled, scabbed over, and years later my hair still hasn't grown back. It's smooth and slightly grooved. Are there any treatments available to grow my hair back? Or is it too late to try to salvage it?

Answer: Scalp trauma and hair regrowth Unfortunately, you are correct - it is not likely that hair will grow back. But you can either transplant it or seek the skills of an experienced scalp surgeon like Dr. Kabaker (Oakland, CA) or Tony Mangubat (WA) who can take the scar out pretty easily with excellent cosmetic results and a minimum of downtime.Good luck!

This hair loss is usually permanent, but very amenable to hair transplantation.Sincerely,Bernardino A. Arocha, MD

Answer: Hair Loss from Hair Weave This is called Traction Alopecia. This is resulted from the Hair weave. You may want to seek interest in a hair transplant to solve this. I would suggest seeing a hair loss expert in your area to see if you are a candidate for a transplant and what would be best for you.
