3.10.2 Chignon Alopecia

In 1931, Sabouraud first described, under the French designation alopécie du chignon, a type of alopecia associated with the wearing of a chignon. In contrast to marginal traction alopecia, chignon alopecia would occur occipitally where the bun rested on the scalp (Fig. 3.24). The cause appears to be traction and twisting of the hair necessary to form and maintain a bun. Sabouraud failed to recognize the traumatic origin of both alopécie liminaire frontale (marginal frontal alopecia) and alopécie du chignon.
