STOP Wearing These Hairstyles That Cause Hair Breakage! Hair Breakage Causes & Protective Hairstyles

[@AbbeyYung]

I forgot to mention that hosiery elastics are also great for higher ponytails & buns! They secure more tightly than a floppy scrunchie but still let you keep it relatively loose so it doesn’t pull 😊

[@vernadix3251]

Thank you! 😊. Your tops have helped me so much. I’m getting length to my hair I’ve never gotten before! None of the salons I’ve gone to over the years haven given tips or have said things like “don’t fix your hair so much” without explaining. THANK YOU! ❤️😊

[@vernadix3251]

“tips” not tops. But your tops are always cute too! 😁

[@TrinaGallo]

Her tops are top notch! 😊

[@kimberlykushlakus1606]

I bought the hosiery elastics after watching your video - LOVE THEM ! I have waste length heavy hair and they hold my hair secure in a top know without being super tight. Thank you !

[@LucyBird]

I don't know if this happens to anyone else, but I swear sometimes when I get headaches that it's related to my hair being pulled back too tight. Definitely going to purchase the hair ties that you recommended!

[@PM-qs8gs]

Same here!

[@YourDailyDoseofJillish]

Yeah, I experience the same thing

[@o0OeziO0o]

Therefore you can use invisibobble hairties 🤩 I've never used others since over 10 years and it helped a lot against headache or brackage

[@emini585]

Yea me too

Absolutely, had to make a trip to the store to buy a bottle of aleve this past weekend for my headaches.

[@connie6410]

I'm lucky that since I was a child tight hairstyles have given me headaches, so I never wore them. I love these soft style options, thanks Abbey!

[@kellyn8908]

I’ve been using French pins for my buns. They don’t leave a crease in my hair, and they feel more gentle than a scrunchie, plus less turns and loops in the hair.

[@karleyjojo]

Something that completely changed the game for my hair is a silk turban from Slip. It's sooooo expensive, but it has been a life changing addition to my night time hair routine. I used to sleep in satin bonnets and didn't think silk was really worth it. And if satin is all you can get, definitely get it. It's better to have a satin one than nothing at all. It will still help reduce friction, breakage, and frizz. But since I've gotten the silk one, I will never go back. I sleep in it every night and I have seen dramatic benefits from it. My hair is softer, smoother, and stronger, with almost no frizz. I can't believe one product made such a huge difference, but it truly has! I also got some silk scrunchies from them and I especially love the skinny scrunchies. Super gentle, but they're a lot less bulky than regular scrunchies.

[@bnb0510]

I have one and it falls off of my head constantly at night. It’s frustrating!

[@AbbeyYung]

Sold 😂

[@karleyjojo]

@@AbbeyYung you won't regret it! I'm osessed with mine if you couldn't tell. 😂

[@karleyjojo]

@@bnb0510 mine does too if I don't wear it in a certain way. What I do is wear it over my ears and pull it about half way down my forehead. It sounds weird, but it's surprisingly comfortable and it never falls off.

[@8edhead]

i have a silk pillowcase and i noticed a huge difference too!! it's literally amazing

[@nicolejankowski385]

I can't comprehend how scrunchies hold anyone's hair. I have never successfully had one stay in my hair for more than 10 minutes

I’m glad you included tips for those of us who want can’t deal with wearing our hair down at night. I am approaching the beginning of menopause and get crazy sweaty at night, so if I wear my hair down,, I just wake up with it absolutely soaked with sweat. Not ideal!

[@x-starlight-x]

I'm not at that stage of life yet, so I can't give any great tips for you, but I definitely suffer from night sweats due to medication I take, and I've found tying my hair in a loose ponytail with a silk/satin scrunchy and then loosely plaiting the end helps keep the hair in place, thats if you have a bit longer hair or even just loosely tying it up. A satin hair band helps damage the hair less and leave less marks. Also there are cooling pads you can insert into your pillows that can help cool you down. I'm not sure where you live but they are available in the Uk so should definitely be available in the US. I'm pretty sure they even do pillows with in built in cooling gel. So maybe that's something to look into. Good luck

[@lisaolstie2613]

Girl, get a bonnet! I have curly hair so that is how I came to know them but it is so great! Al your hair is up (free breezy neck!) and won't cause friction because of the silk

[@kavithamanickam2617]

U could plait(loose plaits) ur hair. It will prevent hair breakage

[@doeeyes2]

As a former professional balllerina/dancer i can say very confidently that "traction alopecia" is REALl!!!!

[@doeeyes2]

Also let me add... i use to think that sleeping in a hair mask or leaving one in my hair for 24 hours would be an extra boost. Not only was it really hard on may hair to be wrapped up so long with product but I ended up with protein overload. What Ive learned is to use products as directed!!

[@aracelysee9665]

For those tiny clear elastics, you can use lemon essential oil so break them and then you can gently remove. They also have this little hook tool that you can cut them with. I use both methods when I put them in my daughter's hair and I'm able to remove them with no hair breakage.

[@Debble]

The hook tool is a seam ripper or can also be a seam ripper. Works great and every sowing kit has one

[@aracelysee9665]

@@Debble it's bigger than a seam ripper but that would definitely also work! I've seen the hook things come with vacuum cleaners to cut hair that gets wrapped on roller when vacuuming.

[@troebeliewoep]

Any oil will break them right? I noticed that after using them as i oiled my hair

[@aracelysee9665]

@@troebeliewoep i haven't tried others! but that's good to know. i don't always have lemon on hand.

[@LivJ685]

I don't really get why braids encourage breakage? POC use braids as a protective style all of the time. As long as it's not super tight it's fine. It protects your ends and is a low manipulation style as once it's done you can keep it in for a few days & don't have to manipulate it again.

[@anikamartens9381]

I know with my hair no matter how loose or tight the braid is it will come undone throughout the day and my hair ends up super snarled because it's so fine it slips out. This could be what she's talking about.

[@califlorican]

She prefaced the original with “tightly pulled”. The photo she included was also a tight braid. She did later say loose braids were protective.

[@AbbeyYung]

That’s what I mean! Super tight is what is high manipulation & encourages breakage. I love loose braids as a protective style 😊

[@pammmerz8153]

Poc do use braids but they also thoroughly moisturize hair with oils or thick cremes prior to braiding ....less friction, less breakage.

[@Ash2theB]

Are hair is also a different curl pattern sometimes three different types of curls especially for African American or any African descendants.

[@baileyspeltbeefy1768]

I have hair that’s almost past my ass and it’s very healthy My hairdresser said braids are not damaging (especially if you aren’t making SUPER tight braids) and I wear lots of pony’s and messy buns but I never pull my hair tight and I’m very clearly to remove everything and use detangling products and comb right I always braid before bed and when it comes to hair not everyone’s is that same so I would talk to a professional and ask them what would work for your hair and what doesnt

[@michellejanko8387]

I was always under the impression basics were protective

[@amywinter4911]

SILK CAPS!!! I can’t stand my hair in ANY style sleeping but with a cap it’s so comfy and my hair has zero frizz after. I’m guilty of the night bun but I cannot stand hair on my neck .. also the styles you wear are too heavy for my head so I do those “not quite pulled all the way through” ponies. Great quality hair care and a silk cap suits me the best :)

[@kzvegansuperstar]

Abbey, would you please do a video on workout hair styles for people with long, dense hair? My hair annoys me so much when I’m working out and I have a sensitive scalp. So hard to keep my hair out of the way gently when I’m doing HIIT

[@lizcademy4809]

I have the same issue. I do yoga, so I need a way to tie my hair back that's both good for my har, AND won't form a bump or knot when I'm flat on my back. I've been using a regular covered elastic, but if I don't loop it tightly it falls out and I'm doing the downward Sheepdog

[@zainabtanweer2910]

Long hair could be braided easily. I always do that. If it hurts your back, then make two of them on the sides.

[@anp3535]

The receding hairline is absolutely true. Gave myself a break from styling 5-6 months ago + started caring for my scalp's hydration and I've seen tremendous results!

[@mumijevi]

My hip length hair just comes undone from that twist and it drives me crazy. Other recommendations for sleeping hairstyles that WON'T make your hair greasy overnight?

[@TheEmeraldAlfheim]

Pro Tip: the clear elastics are easily removed with a hot curling iron. At a relatively low heat setting (doesn't take much) TAP the clear band and it'll break so you can just take it out without ripping or pulling the hair.

[@nevebrown9206]

honestly I just cut them out and I’ve never had an issue!

[@Nic-sl3ep]

A seam ripper, band cutter, or one of those plastic letter openers work well too and no melting plastic or heat tool needed.

[@MELol-n4h]

Girl wtf are you doing. Lemon juice/oil melts them instantly and you can replenish the hair afterwards. Conditioner slips them off without damage. Olive oil.

[@leslieg5276]

Watched this video because I have been experiencing some bad signs of breakage recently. Looks around as I realize I literally do every single one of the "don'ts". 😬😬😬 It's... fine. I'll fix it hopefully! 😬

[@MinekaC]

Sames. School stress added to weakening my hair 😭

[@karleyjojo]

A great way to remove those tiny rubber bands without breakage is to soak them in oil before putting them in your hair. It makes them slide out so easy! Or you can just use an eyebrow razor and gently press it on the band to cut it out of your hair without any risk of cutting your hair with it. Hope these tips help!

[@joyt.3982]

Great tip! Thank you!!! ☺️

[@AngelPrimsepski]

Oil always makes the elastic bands break when I do it

[@karleyjojo]

@@AngelPrimsepski it depends on the kind of bands you use. If they're true rubber bands, then they won't break. But if they're the flat kind of plastic-ish ones, then the oil will make them break. That's been my experience at least. For the flat ones I just use an eyebrow razor and cut them out.

[@zebrastrong9291]

So glad I found your channel! Would you consider doing a video on healthcare/shift work hacks? Oily skin plus 12+ hr shifts in ICU and I look like a whole mess by the end of my shift both my hair AND makeup! 😂

[@Velin4eto]

Was about to ask the same as I work for an ambulance service where a loose hairstyle is so not an option and I always have my (down to my bum) long hair in a high and tightly pulled back ponytail which hurts a lot of course but no other option really 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@kandramitchell4591]

That's makes 3 of us, I'm a FF Medic and my dept SOGs require hair "off the collar". I have mid back length hair that is naturally a 2C/3A curl, and they tolerate my high ponytails, but omg the breakage 😭 I'm desperate for more protective hairstyles that hold up to cpr, I hate how bad my broken hair is all over the place!

[@tanyarobinson1146]

Have you looked at holdiocks?

[@carmenromero8001]

What kind of hair style would you recommend for nurses? I don’t like having my hair down while at work 😬

[@blakelypeele9271]

Extremely fine hair nets have been a game changer for me. I can use all the loose styles without them falling down because the hair net keeps everything together without requiring tight bindings. I often use a hosiery elastic as you mentioned to make a very loose ponytail and then carefully pull the hair into a hairnet making sure to keep all of the strands smooth (no tangles). Once my pony is in the net I can gently loop it up over the hosiery elastic and hold it in place with a gentle clip, open pins, or even a hair chopstick (traditional hanfu style ornaments are my favorite). This works wonders. My hair has never been so happy. When all the strands are carefully protected in the invisible net they don’t suffer from tangling or activity based friction and my hair slides right out super shiny and silky smooth. Sometimes I even use a silk jumbo hair tie then carefully wrap my hair around it before covering with a hairnet to create silky waves. Those invisible hairnets are underrated! I can now create the most elegant styles without causing any kinks, stress, or binding on the strands or roots. Total blessing because I can’t stand the hair sitting on my neck, as you mentioned. 😅

[@vernadix3251]

Exactly what I needed to hear! I have fine hair & just below shoulders. Thanks for the tips-especially for sleeping!

[@monvici]

I love braids. The most natural way to make curls or waves. No hot styling tools. I recommend to get some silk or satin crunchies even they would be tight ones. Best materials for hair

[@kayceh6198]

Thank u so much for this. I wish someone would have told me this 20 years ago. Now I’m 35 with traction alopecia and I’ve been on rogaine for almost a year to try and fix all the damage from tight high ponytails. This is totally a thing.

[@evolvingboard]

I used to use the "traditional" elastics. I'd use two and keep my hair in a high tight pony almost every single day for years. Yeah, I had constant headaches (wonder why) and it didn't do my hairline any favors. Now I do a low loose pony with a scrunchie or just have my hair loose during the day.

[@jesss2145]

Those tiny clear hair ties are perfect for holding your belt into place. I always lose a few hairs when I use them in my hair. I only keep them to use for my belts now!

[@ccl6192]

What is your recommendation for when your work is a workout. I don’t have a sit down desk job. I work at a Hospital. I absolutely cannot have loose hair hanging down because I can’t stand how it feels to have loose hair tickling me in my face and on my neck when I am moving around a lot bending stretching lifting reaching and constantly walking. I also cannot have long hair laying loose that people could grab or yank. I also cannot have any hair dangling out that could possibly get dipped/dragged in other peoples body fluids. It also needs to fit under PPE and not be tangled in masks and face shields when they are regularly changed. Stabby hurty pins and clips are not an option for me on 12 hour shifts. Suggestions?

[@aliciawilmot-osborne]

TIMECODE- 08:50 This double ponytail technique is called banding.

[@eve12171]

Got some jaw clips similar to the ones you're using (couldn't get the exact same ones as they're not available in the UK) and loving them - look and feel better than a ponytail! I also started twisting my hair loosely before going to bed after you recommended it in another video and it's great (it's also the same thing that my hairdresser recently recommended I do!) Thank you for another great video! ❤

[@discord_and_entropy]

don't forget the classic hairband. It simply keeps midlength hair out of your face for standing and walking work and is extremely loose but not super easy to fall out.

Spin pins are my go to if I want a secure bun. You can use a scrunchie to put your hair up, wind it around the scrunchie, the use the spin pins to secure to your head. Feels loose, but doesn't move.

i just love ponytails uns and braids. I hate wearing my hair down ... my hair is still thick and long but... I guess I'm doing it wrong? Also the low loose pony and bun would drive me nuts. :(

[@WhitneyDahlin]

I love your videos! I did want to also mention that we wear loose braids at night to reduce friction on the pillows which can cause breakage. And it's the same thing during the day. If your hair is in a very low pony or any other style where most of your hair is going to be swinging back and forth against your shirt it causes that same friction damage that you would get from sleeping on a pillow. So I just wanted to throw that out there as well as something to keep in mind

[@janelleblanks2462]

I am a personal trainer and group fitness instructor who needs my hair completely out of my face for 5 to 6 hours a day. You just listed all the hairstyles that I use on a regular basis. 🙄 lately I have been putting my hair in two long braids thinking that that was the best way to prevent breakage and also keeps the hair away from my sweaty neck during workouts. And now I find out that even braids aren’t good. 🤦‍♀️

[@Jess-Rabbit]

Most people on KZbin with extremely long and healthy hair say that braids are a good protective hair style. I would imagine she was referring more to french or Dutch braids like the photo showed which pulls on the hair at the root

[@nela7542]

Yes, loose braids are fine! Just make sure to use very soft bands to close them.

[@hotjanuary]

Look up Morgan Donner’s “no elastic” video. She tied up her hair close to her head using ribbons using a historical hairstyle. She grew her hair down to her waist. The ribbons take on the weight of the hair too so that your roots are doing less work. Maybe try out that hairstyle? Edit: the video is called “I stopped wearing hair elastics for a year and I’m never going back.”

[@corinacorina5028]

I have really long bleached hair and braids work really well for me! Everyone is different :)

[@user-sk9qk8ut5b]

Regular braids are alright, she was talking about the Dutch braids as the hairstyle tugs at the roots:)

[@lynnmcdonald3401]

I started wearing a silk night cap over loosely braided hair at night to minimise damage from rubbing on pillow and so far that has been great!

[@GinaMarieCheeseman]

I have curly hair. I wear a satin bonnet to bed. I like wearing my hair around the house in a low ponytail secured with a scrunchie I don't loop. I have a lot of hair so it works, and it won't mess up my curl pattern. It I want it up, I favor a mid ponytail secured with an Invisibobble. I find those don't cause frizz and minimize the stretched out curls that occur with a ponytail. For a messy bun, I gather my hair together and loop a scrunchie around. Curly hair is messy, so there's no need to manipulate it 😅

[@isabelleribeiro3248]

I work in an icu, my hair can't be loose ever and cant be anything messy either 😖

[@elizabethann5308]

Same I will braid my bangs and pull it all into a mid to high ponytail. That way my ponytail isnt pulling on my front hairline and giving me a headache. Or if I am doing covid ICU I do not like my hair on my collar so I will put it in a low bun again with the braided bangs. I will also use spin pins to do the bun, it is more secure and doesnt rip at my ends.

I experienced tons of growth from sleeping in 2 loose braids under a silk head wrap & I sleep on a silk pillowcase

[@strgazr04]

I wish I could do these loose styles, but my hair is so thin and fine that nothing stays put. Ever since I was a child, if I were to use a clip in my hair I could clamp it shut and it would still slide out. I'd have to tie an elastic underneath it and close the clip over it. Even now, I can tie a relatively small hairband in my hair three or four times around. Lately, I've been trying to sleep with my hair in a loose bun using silk scrunchies, yet without fail I wake up in the morning with the scrunchie lost somewhere in the bed and my hair loose again.

At 23 I finally had long enough hair to start doing ponytails, buns, etc. Basically styling my hair! For most of my life I've had shoulder length or bobbed hair. Super fine! I wore my slick back buns and pony's, anything I could think of! Taught myself to braid for the first time of my life. Then the breakage came! Then I grew it all out while still styling it the same way. Now Ive had to stop styling my hair because since I've moved in with my fiance, I breathe and hair breaks. I'm not sure if it's water or stress yet but I'm sure it's both. Which sucks! My hair was almost down to my butt, I cut it last year, and I'm still having these issues.

I need to have my hair braided for BJJ to minimize it getting pulled or snapped off but I try to leave it down as much as possible when I'm not training or running. I still have some breakage but it has definitely lessened from when I kept my hair tied tight for 12 hours/day. I'll have to try the twist for when I sleep because I wriggle out of my silk scarf and my husband pulls it when It's totally loose.

[@TheDecaystar]

These are all good tips, but what would you do in my case? I go to work daily, where I often have to wear a head lamp and hearing protection. And going back and forth to work I have to hold it somehow. Also I do some fencing wearing a fencing mask. All seems to be hell on my hair. I recently cut it short as it keeps getting damaged and breaks.

My hair is so so long and is always getting caught on literally everything and ripping out. My hair breaks sooo easily so putting it in a bun is the only way to get it to stop getting ripped out. I have noticed though after years of the high bun on top of my head I have a lot of breakage at the back of my neck.

[@Debble]

My golden hairstyle as a nurse is a lose braid i pin in different circles on my head. Nothing fancy like a french braid. And because it is long it always looks fancy. Sometimes it looks like a crown braid others just a spiral. I don't even need elastics if you pin the ends away right

I am a hijabi and I have pretty long hair so I have to wear my hair in a bun for at least half of the day (when I am outside) and in summer I just can't tolerate a single hair touching my neck, so basically I really like puttinh my hair into a bun but I don't want it to affect my hairline or thin my hair. Any tips which could help?

The clear elastics are okay if you dab some hair cream on them before. Slip right off.

High pony tail did make my hair receded! True

What do you think about head bands, barrettes, bobby pins? I just became a mom and need my hair out of my face and away from my kids hands but don’t want to damage my hair! Help 😅😊

I always used to wear my hair in a tight ponytail and at my hairline I've lost hair so I've tried to use a ponytail less often.

Great video but I think just inserting a picture for us of an item you know you are going to return would be better than buying just for the video and returning after (the elastic hair ties).

So how would you wear your hair for doing sports activities?

I love spiral pins but they often come in awful material and sadly the invisabobble one is just to short a spiral for long hair.

I know this is late but just found your video! How the heck to I have an updo that can stand Occasionally sweating and needing my hair up? My joy I need my hair up I wrap it in a low bun with metal bun twists. What do I do?!
