Wearing ponytails<\/strong> is a very elusive way to get tension alopecia, because it happens slowly over time and normally women who wear ponytails a lot don\u2019t realize it\u2019s happening until it\u2019s too late. Wearing your hair in a ponytail constantly puts a lot of strain on the hair and tension on the hair shaft.<\/p>\n

Now that you have the information you need about tension alopecia, make sure you use it so you\u2019re not faced with permanent hair loss. Sometimes your hair can grow back and sometimes it can\u2019t.<\/p>\n

If your having problems with hair loss due to tension\u2026<\/p>\n

STOP<\/strong><\/span> whatever it is you\u2019re doing immediately!<\/strong><\/p>\n
