Pulling your hair back can cause stress and damage to your hair.

Protective buns, puffs, and ponytail styles are good at keeping hair out of your face, but they are also a major source of thinning edges. Tight hair styles can add stress to hair follicles, causing breakage. You should try keep these high-tension styles to a minimum, but if you must do them, do so wisely. Using an elastic hair band or hair band with a metal part can snag on your hair and snatch you bald, yanking out your follicles. Ouch!
