The Mistake: Wearing Too-Tight Ponytails All the Damn Time
The Mistake: Wearing Too-Tight Ponytails All the Damn Time A ponytail is an easy fix for a bad hair day, and you can even rock it as a statement look. However, wearing a tight ponytail all the time can take a toll. "Tying it too tight can put too much pressure on the follicles which can lead to something called traction alopecia," warns Adel Chabbi, celebrity hairstylist and owner of Adel Atelier in NYC. "This may even lead to hair loss and, over a long period of time, cause a receding hairline." If you like the look of a sleek ponytail, she recommends using products that'll work to your advantage instead of torturing your hair and scalp. Try Miss Jessie's Hold Me Down hair gel, $7.99.
