Hair tie tips and damage prevention

How Your Hair Tie Is Harming Your Hair and Better Alternatives?

When it comes to hair care, we usually think of shampoos, oils, and serums, but we rarely consider what we use to tie our hair! Yes, the way you tie your hair could be one of several hidden reasons for thinning hair, breakage, or hair fall. Many of us grab the same elastic bands or rubber bands each time without realizing they might be harming our hair more than helping.

Hair Tie Accessories That Are Hurting Your Hair

If you have noticed more breakage, thinning, or hairfall, the chances are that your hair accessories are causing it. Here are just a few ways that you damage your hair with hair ties that you haven’t thought twice about: 

- Elastic rubber bands: These are ranked the worst because they are tugging and pulling on your hair and can result in breakage. 

- Tight, seamless hair bands: These might seem debaged and neat, but they are creating a lot of tension in your scalp. 

- Hair bands with metal clasps: These typically catch on your strands and can create and cause snapping.  

- Very tight scrunchies: Even the fabricated ties can be damaging if you wear them too tightly or often. 

First, by tying your hair too tightly, you put a strain on those strands of hair. Second, when you repeat the same process every day over time, you seriously weaken the strands of hair, which can lead to traction alopecia.  

Better Alternatives for Healthier Hair 

When you switch to gentler accessories, you are doing all you can to protect your hair health. Find:

Silk or satin scrunchies – they create less friction and are more gentle on your hair.

Spiral hair ties these have a coil shape which allows them to pull less tightly and limits creasing, which reduces breakage.

Claw hair clips these are great for making loose/updos without pulling your scalp.
