In fashion, a high ponytail has always been loved by women, which can not only show youthful vitality, but also highlight the facial contours. However, experts have recently warned that tying a high ponytail for a long time may have adverse effects on hair health and even cause hair loss.
As a popular hairstyle, the firmness of high ponytail is often overlooked. Tightly bunching your hair up for a long time can put constant pressure and tugging on your scalp. This tightness restricts blood circulation to the scalp, resulting in insufficient nutrients** for hair follicles, which in turn affects hair growth and health. In the long run, hair follicles may gradually shrink, and hair may become thin and easy to break, eventually leading to hair loss.
In addition to affecting blood circulation, a high ponytail can also disrupt the scalp's natural barrier function. The stratum corneum on the scalp is an important barrier to protect the scalp from external irritants, and a tight hairstyle can damage the stratum corneum and make the scalp dry and sensitive. As a result, the scalp is susceptible to bad factors such as bacteria and chemicals, which can cause inflammation and infection, further exacerbating hair loss.
In order to avoid the risk of hair loss caused by a high ponytail, experts recommend that women should be moderately loose and avoid too tight when tying a ponytail. Changing your hairstyle frequently is also a great way to protect your hair and reduce constant stress on your scalp and hair. Regular intensive hair care and nutritional supplementation can help improve the scalp environment and promote healthy hair growth.
While a high ponytail is a stylish and youthful hairstyle option, excessive tightness can be a potential threat to hair health. In order to protect precious hair, women should pay attention to the health needs of their hair while pursuing beauty, so as to avoid the embarrassing situation of hair loss.
