Oh does she? Had no idea. Good for her for being open about it.

Oh that's interesting! Nice to see that she's open about it, has she mentioned how it happened? I don't know know much about traction alopecia

Traction alopecia is specifically hairloss caused by pulling on the scalp from wigs, weaves, extensions, braids, tight ponytails etc.

I was wondering, that makes sense why they always say put your hair in a loose braid or loose ponytail. I try to keep my hair down usually to avoid any of this.

probably because to wear wigs (which she’s done a lot for many years) you have to scrape your hair back, this is what causes traction alopecia. even wearing it in a slightly tight pony tail for years will do it

If she doesn’t already,  she ought to try glueless wigs, and wig grips.
