Does wearing your hair in a ponytail or a bun everyday stop hair growth?

Hi Abby,

No, it won't stop hair growth, but the tension that it puts on the hair isn't great. Not just the tension on the hair root where it grows out of the scalp, but also where it's secured. Tying a tight band around the hair or securing it with clips every day can weaken the hair and cause breakage in that area.

Use fabric coated hair bands without any metal or exposed elastic and avoid metal clips for every day use. And try to reduce the tension on the hair by pulling it back and securing it more loosely.

All the best,
Michelle
