    Rude that you answer my request for sources with a question, but here:

    “Black women are more likely than other populations to experience traction alopecia due to a higher prevalence of high-tension hair styling practices and intrinsic hair qualities, including hair with lower density and tensile strength, less moisture, and slower growth rates”
