| pubmed-article:18047612 | pubmed:abstractText | Traction alopecia (TA) is common in African females. Although hairstyles are thought to be causal, the contribution of individual hairstyling variables to TA severity has not been quantified. The aim of the current study was to develop a severity scoring system (M-TAS score) for marginal TA, the commonest form of this disorder, and to test its reliability. | lld:pubmed |
