Hot comb alopecia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hot comb alopecia was first reported in the late 1960s as a scarring alopecia seen in black women who straightened their hair with hot combs for cosmetic purposes, developing characteristically on the crown and spreading peripherally to form a large oval area of partial hair loss.[1]:760
