fact... there was a girl who had a normal hair line in 9th grade in high school, by junior year, her hair line was half way back towards the back of her head. Fierce, I know.

FICTION... it can't be true, unless you pull so hard you rip it out!

That Paul Smith dress on the last page is amazing. I would spend an entire paycheck on that. I'm guessing it is from the Fall collection? Does anyone know?

If you pull it very hard, definitely true! I saw I video where a woman lost her hair in a ride, because something in there pull her hair!

Fact. Traction alopecia. See Tyra Banks, Vivica A. Fox, or anyone wearing hair systems, lace-front wigs, etc.

True, it's called traction alopecia. It's caused by wearing hairstyles that are too tight.

I'm pretty sure that it's probably fact for girls with fine, thin hair. It gets damaged and pulled out so easily, and grows in so sparsely that tight tails must take a toll (alliteration, yayee!).

For girls with thick, strong hair, I really doubt they'll lose much hair - or if they do, it won't be that noticeable.

Are we talking about losing it or "losing it?" As in hair actually falling out, or going crazy!
