Nigerian beauty and lifestyle vlogger Dimma Umeh is back with a new video, this time focusing on hair care, particularly one area many of us tend to take for granted: the hairline.
In the video, Dimma shares tips on preventing traction alopecia and how early, non-severe cases may be reversed with the right hair care practices.
For context, traction alopecia is a form of hair loss caused by prolonged or repeated tension on the hair follicles. Tight hairstyles, hair glue, and excessive manipulation are some of the common culprits. Even hair gel, particularly when used alongside tightly pulled hairstyles, can contribute to the problem.
And speaking of hairstyles, let's talk about the ponytail.
Imagine pulling your hair tightly while packing it into a ponytail, securing it with hair bands and then sleek-ing everything down with hair gel for that extra hold.
Wow! That's triple wahala!
Not just for your hairline, but for your hair generally.
Now imagine keeping that hairstyle in for five days or more. Between the constant tension, manipulation, and styling products, your edges are practically being put through a lot.
The result? Thinning edges, reduced hair fullness and, potentially, significant hair loss.
And if you keep at it long enough, you might eventually find yourself saying goodbye to your hairline.
The good news, however, is that early traction alopecia may improve once the tension is removed and the hair follicles are given a chance to recover. Take care of your hairline or you'll end up like----🤣🤣
So, before your next slick ponytail or tightly pulled hairstyle, perhaps it's worth asking yourself: Is this hairstyle really worth the damage?
