Lucky for me mine grew back.

Yes, really tight pony tails or braids can cause you to lose hair permanently in one spot. A lot of black women will lose their hair in the front from really tight braids worn a lot when they were little. Never use rubber bands in your hair. They are bad to pull the hair out. After a while the hair doesn't come back and you are stuck with a bald spot.

On the other hand there is male pattern baldness. Women can inherit this from their fathers when they are older. And menopause causes hair loss too. There is a remedy for hair loss due to menopause. There isn't anything you can do for hair loss due to male pattern baldness though.

Also apply a hair masque.

Do this and see if it helps the hair come back.. It should

Give it some time of course..........
