But did you know that your favourite hair accessory could be damaging the quality of your locks?
If you love a super sleek ponytail, or even just throw your hair up in a messy bun for bed, a hair tie can pull on your strands and damage the hair follicles, while the tossing and turning in bed can actually increase the chances of headaches and hair falling out.
So how’s the best way to protect your hair if you need to use a bobbin?
Changing up your hairstyle and placement of the hair tie means the strain won’t be felt on the same strands, while experts suggest avoiding hot hair tools if you plan on later tying your hair into a ponytail or bun to avoid added pressure.
Other top tips include using hair ties without metal clasps – which can pull on your hair and cause breakage.
Instead opt for soft bobbins and hair pins to keep your locks free from your eyes.
