Did You Know Recreating Deepika Padukone’s Slicked Bun Hairstyle Might Be More Harmful Than Stylish? Here’s Why

In the glamorous world of celebrity fashion, the slicked-back bun, popularized by style icons like Deepika Padukone, exudes elegance and sophistication. This hairstyle, often seen on red carpets and at high-profile gatherings, might seem like the perfect touch to any polished outfit. However, beneath its sleek surface, this hairstyle could be causing more harm than good. Known as traction alopecia, this condition involves gradual hair loss, primarily due to the constant pulling of hair tightly into hairstyles like buns, ponytails, and braids.

Traction alopecia begins rather mildly in most cases with only small bumps along the hairline or some marginal inflammation on the head. As the constant pulling continues over a period, there usually tends to be more hair loss particularly around and in the hairline at the front of the head and at the temples. The structure of such a style causes damage to the hair roots over time and some of these bulbs may die making hair growth impossible.

The good news is that traction alopecia can be prevented and treated if diagnosed in time. Here are some strategies to rock your most liked hairstyles without harming your mane:

Loosen Up: Pulling one’s hair too tight is a big no. Try not to make your bun too high so as to avoid too much tension on the scalp. In case a particular hairstyle gives one pain or a headache, then it means the hair is too tied.

Rotate Hairstyles: Frequent changing of a person’s hairstyle helps to prevent applying undue pressure on the same parts of the scalp. There is no need to wear the same kind of hairstyle all the time. Wear your hair loose, thick braids or an alternate kind of updo to lessen the gum pressure.

Scalp Care: Make use of two or more scalp massages weekly in order to encourage blood circulation to the scalp and hair follicles in particular through nourishment. Rub these areas with peppermint or lavender oil as this can also stimulate hair growth and provide relief.

Strengthen Your Hair: Especially when there is a need to twist and pin hair in funny styles, hair care products containing hair strengthening and moisturizing compounds should be included in the regimens. Using products containing protein, keratin and oils will always be a bonus. Well-nourished moisture hair does not easily break, even when tied into a bun tightly.

If you notice signs of hair loss, consult with a dermatologist or a trichologist. Early professional advice can help reverse the damage and prevent further loss.
