I’m a hair doctor & there’s 4 hairstyles that cause your hair to fall out
IF you have long hair and it’s started falling out randomly – one surprising cause might be the hair styles you are putting it in.
A medical cosmetic has revealed there are four common hairstyles that people are doing, which is surprisingly causing bald patches.
Dr. Lily Talakoub shared a video with her 50.4k TikTok followers, urging them to get their heads a break.
She captioned the video: “If worn too tight these hairstyles can cause traction alopecia!”
She first started off by showing a picture of Hailey Bieber, modelling the ‘off duty bun’ or ‘ballerina bun’.
This is where the hair is scraped back and tide in a tight bun at the back of the head.
She showed an ‘after’ picture of a woman’s head with bald patches on the side.
The second hair style is a high ponytail – where the hair is scraped back, and tied at the top of the head.
Dr. Lily then showed a picture of a woman balding in the centre crown on her head and claims this is as a result of the hair style.
The third style is braids, where she claims balding will begin from the hairstyle. And the final hair style is using hair extensions. She then shows a picture of a person’s hair thinning at the roots.
