Brighton, United Kingdom, September 17, 2026 /PressCable/ -- Dreadlocks by KNOT has released a potentially controversial article "Do Dreadlocks Cause Traction Alopecia? What Actually Damages the Hairline", bringing some cause for concern, as the article may upset practitioners who use standardised methods or dismiss the impact of tension, weight and suitability on vulnerable hairlines.
The in-depth, long-form article examines the high points and low points of Whether dreadlocks cause traction alopecia and what actually damages the hairline, in the pursuit of providing clear specialist guidance on recognising risk, protecting vulnerable roots and making safer dreadlock decisions for people with dreadlocks, or considering them, who have thinning hair, fragile edges, alopecia or previous tension damage. In an unusually direct but evidence-led manner though, a certain element of the article is set to spark discontent amongst Some dreadlock practitioners.
Below is a portion of the piece, which neatly exemplifies the controversial element:
Dreadlocks do not automatically cause traction alopecia. The real risks come from repeated tension, excessive weight, harsh maintenance or work placed on roots that were never properly assessed. For fragile hairlines, method and suitability matter more than assumptions.
A spokesperson for Dreadlocks by KNOT, Dreadlocks by KNOT, says "Of course Dreadlocks by KNOT never sets out to intentionally upset anybody. The aim of our articles is first and foremost to replace fear and conflicting advice with clear guidance on what actually causes traction alopecia and what vulnerable hair can safely support. It is critical, however, that we stay dedicated to our true voice.
Although our "Do Dreadlocks Cause Traction Alopecia? What Actually Damages the Hairline" might unsettle practitioners who use standardised methods or dismiss the impact of tension, weight and suitability on vulnerable hairlines, our duty is to our readers. We believe it's more important to protect vulnerable hair and give honest guidance about risk, than to please everyone. Which is notoriously difficult to do."
Although there has been no backlash as of yet, the possibility exists as the article challenges both blanket claims that dreadlocks are harmless and blanket warnings that they are always unsafe.
Dreadlocks by KNOT has been a provider of in depth articles in the Specialist dreadlock extensions and reconstruction for thinning hair, alopecia and fragile hairlines market for less than one year, drawing on 26 years of specialist experience.
Dreadlocks by KNOT has stated the future aims for the website are to become a globally trusted resource for complex dreadlock decisions and connect suitable clients with specialist consultations. So Dreadlocks by KNOT hopes any controversy will pass quickly and re-emphasizes no offence is or was intended.

Securing equipment emerges as new variable for Korea's chip expansion plans
Securing equipment for manufacturing advanced memory chips is emerging as a new variable in Korea's plans to expand semiconductor production capacity through large-scale industrial clusters, after ASML, the dominant supplier of advanced chipmaking equipment, warned that its current production plans may not be sufficient to meet demand in 2027 and 2028. During its earnings call Wednesday, ASML CEO Christophe Fouquet said the company's plans to increase its production capacity for advanced chipmaking equipment by 30 percent in 2027 and another 30 percent in 2028 would likely not be enough to meet customer demand. “Last quarter, we talked about 30 percent more capacity next year, and also the aspiration to have another 30 percent increase in 2028,” Fouquet said. “But to be honest, it's becoming very clear that 30 percent in 2027, 30 percent in 2028 will not allow us to meet our customer demand.” According to the company, the planned capacity increases cover both low-numerical-aperture extreme ultraviolet (low-NA EUV) lithography equipment and deep ultraviolet (DUV) immersion system
