I just read in Paula Begoun's book that tieing hair in a ponytail causes Traction Alopecia (going bald, and/or loosing your hair where it is pulled back.). I've used ponytails the past 20 years. Even when it's down, it was pulled back like "Elaine" on Seinfeld. . I'm doing my best to keep it down now, but i just can't. It gets in my face and it's hot. What am I supposed to tie my hair in that WOn't cause TA? Wion't a braid or bun have the same effect? I stopped using scrunchies, as I feel that was the cause of hair breakage. Is using barrettes, forks, sticks, combs any gauantee against TA?
I'm desperate here. I going so bald you can see my scalp.
Thank you!
