Tension alopecia like Naomi's can result from too many months (or years) wearing tight ponytails, braids, braid-in and glue-in weaves as well as wigs that require harsh adhesives (with out the proper remover).

Just be gentle with it and good to your scalp! No more glue-ins or sew-in extensions for you. Try lace front wigs that Do NOT require tape or adhesive.
