Alopecia is the number one cause of hair loss in Black and African American women. If you've ever seen someone with bald, thin edges or temple hair loss you've seen alopecia's effects. Temple hair loss is usually caused by traction alopecia.
Drugs, including chemotherapy drugs used in cancer treatment, blood thinners, beta-adrenergic blockers used to control blood pressure, and birth control pills, can cause temporary hair loss. Burns, injuries, and X-rays can cause temporary hair loss. In such cases, normal hair growth usually returns once the injury heals unless a scar is produced.
