59. Nursing Fundamentals 724359 HAIR CARE - FYI 5.01 Traction Alopecia Damages Follicles Pulling hair too tight -- as can happen with ponytails, braids, and cornrows -- can damage hair follicles and cause hair to break or fall out. Hair extensions and hairpieces can sometimes cause traction alopecia, too, because their extra weight pulls on existing hair. Changing your hairstyle usually lets hair grow back. Pulling hair back tightly for a long time, though, can lead to permanent hair loss. http://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/slideshow-hair-and-scalp-conditions

60. Nursing Fundamentals 724360 HAIR CARE - FYI 5.01 Head Lice: Itchy! In hair — that's where you'll find lice. They like to hide in the neck area of the scalp and behind the ears. If you have lice, you likely got it from sharing a hat, brush, or other item with a person who has lice. Lice are itchy, but scratching can lead to infection. In severe cases, hair may fall out. http://www.webmd.com/allergies/slideshow-bad-bugs
