    TLDR Cutting matted hair stopped further hair loss caused by homemade shampoo.
    A middle-aged woman experienced hair matting on her scalp after using a homemade shampoo containing Hibiscus rosasiensis leaves. This matting, located in the occipital region, caused traction on the vertex region, leading to a patch of traction alopecia. Cutting the matted hair with scissors relieved the tension and prevented further hair loss.
