Question by :P: Can alopecia be caused by ironing your hair each day? Me and my cousin have a scene/emo haircut. But we iron/straighten our hair everyday for a although, but when my mom occasionally helps me straighten my hair, she pulls out like two strands of hair and thats it (she by no means straightens my hair, only often) But can ironing hair trigger alopecia? And if not, what does? I will not want to drop my hair. 🙁 Finest solution: Reply by AngNo. It are unable to. Alopecia is a condition that most men and women are born with. What do you believe?
