Nobody wants to experience hair loss – but did you know that a common hairstyle could be the reason your locks are thinning and damaged?We all have our hair-washing routines and oiling methods sorted, but you might be undoing all your hard work by putting your hair into this style. "I'm a hairdresser, and I'm going to show you probably the most damaging way that you can wear your hair," Rachel Valentine announced on TikTok.

She revealed that "some of us are probably guilty of doing this every single day," and it could be why your hair isn't in the condition you want."It is this," Rachel said, demonstrating how she puts her hair up in a "messy bun" with a bobble. "I know that shoving your hair up in a messy bun is sometimes the quickest thing to do to get your hair out of your face, but it is so damaging in so many ways," she warned followers.

But why is it so harmful? Rachel explained: "Firstly, it is super tight, so the tension is gonna be on these areas here [around the hairline at the side], so if you get traction alopecia like me, this is a no-go."Secondly, our poor ends, especially if your hair is bleached, are gonna be so prone to breaking in a style like this.

They're all caught up, they're all intertwined, and when you take it out, it's probably gonna be super knotty."Thirdly, a lot of people do this when their hair is wet, which is even worse.
