Chic ponytail, tight bun, sleek braids—ye sab dikhne me stylish lagte hain, lekin long-term me hair aur scalp ke liye problem ban sakte hain if overdone.
Constant tight hairstyles hair roots par continuous tension daalte hain. Isse traction alopecia name ka hair loss type develop ho sakta hai—pehle hairline thin lagne lagti hai, temples ke paas gaps aate hain. Early stage me style change karne se reverse ho sakta hai, lekin bohot late notice kiya to permanent thinning bhi ho sakta hai.
Elastic bands directly hair ko pinch karke break kar sakte hain. Rough rubber bands ke bajay covered/soft bands use karo, aur sone se pehle tight pony/bun loosen kar dena simple preventive step hai.
Heat styling—straightener, curler, high-heat dryer—agar bina protection aur bohot frequent use karo, to cuticle damage, dryness, split ends obvious dikhne lagta hai. Colouring, bleaching, chemical straightening/rebonding sab mil ke hair ko fragile bana dete hain.
Protective styles ka idea ye nahi ki hair ko extreme tight braid me lock karke mahino bhool jao. Scalp ko still cleaning, moisturising, and occasional loosening chahiye.
Balance simple hai: style karo, enjoy karo, lekin hair ko regular “off-duty” days bhi do—loose styles, minimal heat, gentle handling. Looks ke chakkar me roots ko permanently hurt karna bura bargain hai.
