It's a know fact that if wear tight braids like Stevie (for decades) it causes the hair to recede.

Can wearing cornrows cause your hair to recede over time? - Yahoo! Answers


Yes, it's called Traction Apolecia. This usually happens when the braids are so tight that it's breaking off your hair. At it's worse, the tight braids will pull the hair out of your follicles, leaving you with permanent bald spots. Never wear tight braids, and especially don't wear them over a long period of time. I've heard of one woman who constantly worse tight braids and had traction apolecia. She saw a doctor about it and she was told it that it was so bad that her hair would never grow back in some spots, because the tight hairstyle had pulled her hair out from the follicle. Many black women tend to get traction apolecia because they're wearing tight extension braids for long periods of time. If your braids are loose, you won't have much of a problem, but you still need to give your hair a rest from the braids.

Find another hairstyle for now, and leave the braids alone. Your hairline might grow back, but you'll have to stop wearing the tight braids, and other tight hairstyles that pull at your scalp.

Interesting. I didn't wear them for decades but I wore them often and were very tight. It always helped my hair grow more.

Thanks.

You're welcome!

Big difference between "often" and "decades". You at least took them down and released the tension on your folicals. This is the only style Stevie has wore since the 80's!! The "pulled-back" style, at that.
