Can wearing a ponytail cause hair loss? it hasn't happened around the temples or hairline, but in other parts, yes, like on top of the parietal.

Only if: It's much too tight. Why are you on estrogen and spironolactone. If you're overweight and have Insulin resistance that can easily lead to hair loss. Talk it over with your doctor.

Usually: Usually there's hair loss at areas of tension on the hair which is usually the frontal hair line when wearing a ponytail.

Hair loss: Traction alopecia results from excessive pulling and tugging of the hair shafts due to certain hair practices such as tight ponytails , braids, corn rows, etc. A more relaxed hair style is helpful at reversing the hair loss in many cases.
