Trichology is the science that studies the hair and scalp. Rachel Valentine is a hair therapist and communicator who shared a video on TikTok where she warns that a hairstyle that is so popular among women is increasingly causing… More baldness problems.
Valentine says he recently saw two patients with similar tears around the crown of the head. Because the clamp is used in the same place every day.
“The heckler epidemic is the reason we’re seeing it Hair breakage in the crown area“, says the expert in her video.
“We understand that these clips are better than hair ties, and yes they are. But what It’s not a good idea for your hair to be completely symmetrical. Every day,” continues the expert.
“There’s a lot of tension in that same area, which causes stress and frequent breakage. Repeating the same hairstyle, especially Very tight updates Or placing tweezers in the same place can create constant tension on the hair fibres, and over time this can cause a condition called tension alopecia.”
This happens when hair follicles – the tiny pores from which hair grows – are under too much pressure become inflamed and damaged, Which in some cases leads to permanent baldness.
Valentine advises her followers to continue using tweezers, but to change their location every day or so Alternate between wearing your hair up and wearing it down.
“Unfortunately, any repeated hairstyle will cause split ends because it is the tension in the same area that causes the damage. Change your hairstyle and Wear it differently every day“, He says.
“So, one day a clasp, the next a rubber band, Wear it high or lowThen, you will distribute the tension throughout the hair, so that it does not cause stress in just one area.”
