Before 
After Hazel had worn tight braids and weaves for many years and had noticed her hairline gradually receding. By the time she came to The Hair Centre, she had significant recession at the temples and forehead — areas that felt tender and where she could see the follicles were under strain.
Gary Heron confirmed Traction Alopecia and assessed the degree of follicle damage. Fortunately, the condition had not yet progressed to scarring, meaning regrowth was still achievable with the right treatment and, crucially, a change in styling practices.
Hazel committed fully to the treatment plan — including eliminating tight hairstyles. Over nine months, her hairline showed remarkable recovery, with the temples and frontal hairline filling in progressively. She now maintains her hair in styles that keep the follicles healthy.
"I had no idea the styles I loved were causing the problem. Gary didn't judge me — he just helped me fix it. My hairline is back."
