Halo Trauma Alopecia

Description

Halo trauma alopecia, sometimes called "pressure-induced alopecia," "helmet alopecia," or more commonly "traction alopecia," refers to circular areas of hair loss caused by continuous friction or pressure from wearing tight headwear such as religious coverings, turbans, or helmets. This condition happens when the scalp experiences repeated stress, rubbing, or pulling—most often at the hairline, crown, or wherever headgear rests tightest—eventually leading to thinning hair and visible bald patches. Halo trauma alopecia is especially prevalent among people who regularly wear snug helmets, headscarves, or certain hairstyles that pull at the roots. Early detection and adjustments in headwear can allow hair to regrow, but if left unchecked, ongoing pressure can cause permanent scarring and irreversible hair loss. For individuals experiencing hair loss from headgear, South Korea offers advanced treatments such as hair transplants (FUE, FUT), along with non-surgical options, making it a top choice for medical tourism and effective hair restoration.
