Watch out for your hair habits: this popular hairstyle may well be the cause of your brittle and sparse hair, alerts an expert. We explain to you why and how to remedy it.
We often take care of our hair with suitable products, nourishing oils and meticulous gestures. However, a daily reflex could well destroy all these efforts. According to a professional hairdresser, an apparently harmless hairstyle actually causes important damage. You probably adopt it for its practical side, but your hair is silently suffer from it.
Rachel Valentine, a recognized professional, drew attention to this hairstyle in a video that has gone around social networks. She explains that this widespread habit causes constant tension on sensitive areas, especially in terms of temples and neck. This traction can cause localized hair loss, called traction alopecia. In addition, it specifies that the consequences can be even more serious if this hairstyle is made on wet hair, which is naturally more fragile and break easily. This hairstyle is the express, fast and practical bun, but particularly harmful.
In addition, the testimonies were quick to flow after this warning. Many people have recognized themselves in this situation, as evidenced by this user: “I do this hairstyle every day and I did not understand why my hair was so brittle.” Another said: “I thought that the use of silk darlings was enough to limit the damage, but I now see that it is false.” Even hair professionals have admitted to having trouble getting rid of this harmful habit.
This hairstyle also poses a problem for the tips, often stuck or dodge aggressively. This causes nodes that are difficult to untangle, which accentuates the breakage during brushing. In addition, colored or discolored hair, already more fragile, is even more impacted. Finally, these damage is not limited to lengths: the scalp, too, undergoes a continuous pressure which weakens the roots.
In short, even if the disorderly bun is a rapid and ultra-practical solution, it represents a real trap for the health of your hair. Instead, opt for alternatives such as loose braids or bass horse tails. Your hair will thank you!
