    You could be suffering from alopecia.
    This could be down to genetics, pulling the hair tight or even relaxers!
    Excessive relaxing damages the hair and scalp. Always keep in mind that relaxers have harsh chemicals in them that chemically alter hair, and long term use of these chemicals can cause harm to hair shafts and follicles causing some hair loss.
    Stop using the relaxer and go see a doctor.
