A member asked:
Is it true that keeping you're hair up in a bun will cause it to fallout and thin? no tension at the scalp it's always up in a loose bun.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hair: My understanding is that when there is tension from a rubber band holding the hair up and back that it can cause damage. I have not heard that using a scrunchy or similar product causes loss of hair.
