Thinning edges is a break down of the hair along the edges of the head. In some cases the hair is completely pulled out of the scalp, this is where you notice the white bud at the end of the hair. Once this process starts if you are not mindful and take action it can result in alopecia which is when the hair follicule has been pulled out so many times that hair will no longer grow it that area.

Cause and effect

The leading cause of thinning of the edges are hair styles that has too much strain on the edges of the hair. For example:

Braids- when getting your hair braided be mindful of how tight the egdes are being pulled, have the person doing your hair not pull the sides as much.

Ponytails- Constantly having the hair pulled back into a ponytail.

Wearing a wig or weave constantly where your own hair is not being able to relax, the constant friction of the rubbing of the wig along your edges cause the hair to become thin.
