    GlossaryTight Hairstyles

    involve pulling hair tightly, risking traction alopecia

    Tight Hairstyles refer to hairdos that involve pulling the hair tightly against the scalp, such as ponytails, braids, buns, and cornrows. While these styles can be aesthetically pleasing and practical, they can also cause tension on the hair follicles, potentially leading to a condition known as traction alopecia, which is hair loss resulting from prolonged or repeated tension on the hair.
