    Glossary Mechanical Forces

    physical pressures or stresses applied to structures or materials

    Mechanical forces refer to physical pressures or stresses applied to a structure or material. In the context of hair and alopecia, these forces can include actions like brushing, pulling, or tight hairstyles, which can lead to hair damage or loss. For professionals, understanding the impact of mechanical forces is crucial for diagnosing and advising on hair care practices to prevent traction alopecia and other related conditions.
