The slicked back bun is making "clean girls" bald
"It's not worth it girls."
Traction Alopecia: Dermatologist Warns Against Tight Hairstyles Millions of people worldwide style their hair tightly, often unaware of the potential consequences. A recent video by dermatologist Dr. Joyce Park, MD, has brought attention to the issue of traction alopecia, a type of hair loss caused by repeated pulling or tension on the hair. Dr. Park, who has a significant following on social media, explains that tight hairstyles, such as slicked-back buns, can damage hair follicles, leading to thinning edges and a widening part. "If your part looks wider or your edges seem thinner, that’s your scalp telling you it’s stressed," she explains in her video. The video, which has already garnered thousands of views, shows an example of a woman with a slicked-back bun, highlighting the potential for damage. Dr. Park emphasizes the importance of giving your scalp breaks from tight styles and avoiding styling damp hair, as wet hair is more fragile and prone to breakage. Her advice is simple yet crucial: loosen your hairstyles, change your part, and avoid tight elastics. The video's popularity underscores the need for increased awareness of this common yet preventable condition.
