When you wear tight-styled hair, you overkill the follicles and strands. You want everything to be in place and on target, but really tight pulling those ends is damaging. Maybe you do not always like your hair down or in your face. Still, try not to draw it too much. If you change the form of your eyes, your hair gives them too tight an appearance. Extended stress on the hair follicles results in a condition called traction alopecia, a common hair style mistake-related hair loss. Especially around the hairline and temples, the constant dragging can irreversibly damage the hair follicles and induce irreversible hair loss. Regular users of buns, braids, or tight ponytails will especially find this common. The damage transcends appearances; tight hairstyles can worsen scalp pain, irritation, and headache. Choose looser designs and change the location of updos to distribute tension differently and protect your hair. By eliminating soft hair ties and metal or rubber bands, you can help to minimize damage. Consider sleeping on a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce friction and eliminate unneeded pulling.
