It will grow in a few months provided you do not put pressure on the hair again.

Hello,
Discontinuing any traction or braiding leads to complete reversal of the hair loss and regrowth within several months.So pls don’t worry about it. Sufficient levels of iron and protein in the diet may help promote normal hair growth. Medical therapy has no role in the treatment of traction alopecia.

Hope it helps. Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries.Kind regards.
