Ponytail hair loss!

This may be quite niche, but for the last 9 months I've had my hair in a ponytail or bun almost every day bc I have a baby who loves to pull my hair & I like it out the way, but the hair on my hairline has started snapping off & I have a bald spot forming 😭 does anyone else have this??

You could try putting it up in a claw clip or loose plait to reduce the pressure on your scalp

It’s called traction alopecia, it’s really common when wearing your hair up frequently. Try plaiting or wearing it low down instead

As others have mentioned clips or loosely styling so there is not as much pull. One other thing is using silk hair ties instead of the regular elastics, they cause less damage if you really need to tie it up. Silk pillowcases are meant to be great too so there's less friction on the already fragile hair!

Thanks everyone!! ❤️

How old is your baby?

@Rima she's almost 9 months!

I use a mask with castor oil and l have a mix with coconut oil and rosemary and cerdawood EO. Both oils are amazing for regrowing hair. The mix of oils l use sometimes after bath. You can also add a drop of each rosemary and cerdawood in your palm and rub into your hair after washing. This is what l use: https://doterra.me/6Ric-u
