This post is not to hate on or put Naomi on blast. It is to give people a heads-up about traction alopecia, which is what experts believe Naomi is suffering from. Traction alopecia is a hair loss condition that is often caused by wearing weaves and extensions over an extended period of time.
Usually, it can be treated, but Naomi's might not be able to be treated because it seems that her follicles are totally damaged. This could have been prevented had she treated the matter earlier. The best she can do now is 1) lose the weave, which is causing stress to her edges and their follicles, or she will continue to experience breakage and 2) wear fitted custom wigs instead of weaves. The key here is a custom wig that has been fitted just for her head. One size fits all wigs tend to shift and rub up and down against hair causing dryness and breakage.
Weaves and wigs are great protective/ low-manipulation styles when the proper precautions are taken! So please, don't take this post as a scare tactic. Rather, take is as advice to invest in quality weaves and wigs. And don't forget to continue to hair for your hair while it is tucked away. This is the only way to capitalize on the benefits of these protective styles.
I hope this was helpful!
