Side effects of tight hairstyle and hair protection measures

Importance of hairstyle in women’s look

Hairstyle plays an important role in the overall look of a woman. Be it office going or party, we make different types of hairstyles. But do you know that if you make a very tight hairstyle every day, it can cause serious damage to your hair and scalp.

Side effects of tight hairstyle

If you regularly make tight ponytails, buns or braids, it can have many side effects. For example:

– Tight hairstyle causes constant strain on the hair roots, due to which the hair follicles become weak and hair growth slows down.

Traction alopecia is a type of hair loss caused by constant traction. This may cause thinning of hair near the forehead or the hairline may move back.

– A tight ponytail can also trigger headaches or migraines, as it puts pressure on the nerves and skin of the scalp.

– Due to this, problem of split hair or lifeless and weak hair may occur.

– Tight hairstyles can cause itching, redness, irritation or swelling in the scalp.

Due to excessive accumulation of sweat, small pimples can also appear near the forehead and hairline.

– Keeping a tight hairstyle for a long time can permanently damage some hair follicles.

Ways to keep hair safe

Some simple measures can be adopted to prevent hair damage:

– Avoid making tight hairstyle daily.

– Use cloth or satin scrunchies while making hairstyle.

– Avoid tying hair in ponytail while sleeping.

– Diversify your hairstyle and do not tie your hair to the same place every day.

– Do scalp massage once or twice a week.
