Hairstyles That Are Causing You Hair Loss

Hair Loss Alert: Are Your Hairstyles Leading to Permanent Damage?

Your hair is your canvas for creativity—whether it's braids, pigtails, waves, or chic buns, each style tells a story. But did you know that some hairstyles can cause more than just a bad hair day? They could lead to permanent hair loss.

The Culprit: Traction Alopecia

Traction alopecia, often dubbed ‘Ballerina Baldness,’ is hair loss triggered by constant pulling and tightening of hair follicles. Over time, this tension can lead to irreversible hair loss if not addressed promptly.

Hairstyles to Beware Of

Ponytails/Pigtails: Tight styles can restrict blood flow to the scalp, leading to receding hairlines and discomfort.

Cornrows: While stylish, these tightly braided patterns can stress the scalp, causing hair breakage and potential infections.

Dreadlocks: Over time, the weight and tightness of dreadlocks can damage hair follicles, leading to scalp conditions and hair loss.

Weaves: Extensions and glues used in weaves can damage the scalp, causing scarring and further hair loss.

Buns: Constantly worn tight, buns can pull at the hair follicles, causing breakage and friction-related damage, especially if worn wet or during sleep.

Wet Updos: Sleeping with wet hair can increase vulnerability to breakage and damage.

Other Styles: Smooth chignons, twisted headbands, and tight braids like the half-crown braid can also contribute to traction alopecia.
