Trendy Hairstyle Loved by Gen Z and Millennial -Women coupled with receding hair lines – left as influencers in tears about ‘Big Bald Patches’

A hairstyle that is popular by Hollywood A -Listers ensures that women get as young as 22 bald spots and lose their hair – because experts warn that it can lead to ‘permanent damage’.

The slick back bread is often the go-t for Gen Z and Millennial women after it had won a grip in 2022 when super models Hailey Bieber And Bella Hadid Were seen that it was wearing.

The sandwich, which is an important part of the ‘Clean Girl -Eesthetics’, means that you brush your hair several times to wipe each strand up before using a gel or pomade to smooth the hair down and turn in a layer of sandwich.

However, to achieve this look, the hair must be withdrawn so tightly that it can cause balding, experts have now warned.

Famous hairdresser James Parr said to Femail: ‘Wearing your hair in tight, smooth back styles too often can put a lot of stress on your carrots.

“Over time, this constant tension can lead to a kind of hair loss called Traction Alopecia – so it’s a good idea to give your scalp a break and wear your hair from time to time or to use a softer scrunchy in contrast to a tight elastic.”

Influencer Saffronbarker24, described ‘upset and scared’ when she found out that she had traction alopecia at the end of 2022 after she repeatedly pulled her hair in various tightly smooth hairstyles, including the low sandwich.

She traveled to Los Angeles for an event where she had stylized her locks and put her in a tight sandwich, so she was in pain.

She told her at the time YouTube channel: ‘A few months ago when I went to La, I went to do my hair and had a sandwich in the middle of my head. I had never felt pain in my life.

“I literally cried and cried and I took tablets, but I had to keep the sandwich because I went to an event and I didn’t have time to do my hair again.”

Saffron took her hair out and said she had the “worst headache ever” and said she saw stains on her head where the sandwich had been.

“When I took my hair out, my head felt like the worst headache ever, but nothing really happened,” she added.

‘Then I had a lot of places on my head and it was super painful and red. A few weeks later, when I got home, I noticed that there was a big bare patch in the middle of my head. ‘

She initially thought it was because her hair was torn out of the sandwich, but was worried more and more when her locks did not grew back.

The maker of the content added: ‘I postponed the appointment [with a trichologist] Because I didn’t want to know if I had alopecia and what would happen to my hair. I was so upset and afraid to go. ‘

After he had seen a hair doctor, Saffron – from Brighton – was told that it was likely that she had Traction Alopecia.

This is often caused by tight hairstyles and the continuous tension on the hair follicles pulls out its strands and can damage or destroy the follicles, according to Charity Alopecia UK.

Saffron then contained photos of her traction alopecia to increase consciousness and give people insight into her experience with hair loss.

‘I get my hair styled for shoots, events, carpets, strictly dancing. It means that my hair was really not cared for, “she said.

Her trichologist gave her a spray to help hair growth, together with heat protection spray for when she gets her hair styled.

London -based hairdresser Gustav Fouche said that although smooth hairstyles can be a popular choice, it can cause problems with her over time due to repeated tension.

He said: “There are ways to reach the slick back look without putting too much pressure on the scalp.

‘For example, the use of styling products such as gel, hair spray or a shine serum can help create the illusion of a tighter style without actually pulling the hair too hard. A “wet look” finish can also give the same slim effect while it is much friendlier for the hair.

“The hair consistently tight can lead to permanent damage.”

Tiktoker Dori, from London, said she was wearing her hair in a smooth back for three weeks in a row and noticed that she had a bald plaster on her head.

She wrote: “It’s not worth girls,” before he adds: “Back to the density serum, I will cry if I don’t laugh.”

April Nelson Sanders, from Utah, also made one Tap @itsaprilsanders) falling over her hair and said: “Oh my God, do we see my hairline now?

“This is my sign not to do slick backs anymore and this is the Tiktok that will hold me responsible because I can’t have that bald at the age of 22.”

April endorsed her post: ‘I am in pain. From now on, catch my hair serum every day with the help of my hair serum. ‘

Tiktoker Hannah expressed her concern about the smooth back roll that her hair loss showed, especially after getting a baby.

‘Fellow Slick Back Lovers, what do we do about the postpartum hair loss? Because we get a little thin on the old edges. This is my favorite hairstyle and I don’t know what I’m going to do when I get so thinner.

“This doesn’t look that bad, but it’s hidden. I have a bit of Baldy patch coming. So what do we do about that? Please share your tips. ‘

Olivia Hope Rivera (@oliviahoperivera), from New York City, also posted on the Social media platform About the risky hairstyle and said: ‘So we’re not going to talk about how wearing a smooth back roll literally makes you bald?

‘My newest hair fixation has clearly done the Hailey Bieber, bad b *** smooth back, I have been wearing them for two weeks and I have lost her.

‘I know I haven’t seen all that forehead yet. That is more forehead than normal. ‘

She added: ‘Like [has this happened to ]anyone else? I spoke with friends [that] This happened. Ladies, watch out! ‘

Maria Dowling, founder and creative director of a multi-award-winning salon in Dubai, revealed the first few warning signals that you might have Traction Alopecia.

She said: ‘The first sign of this happening is usually broken hair around your hairline or thinning hair around the temples, known as frontal or parietal hair loss. Then, as time passes, the hairline can also start withdrawing at the front.

‘Wear a lower sandwich or looser ponytail to minimize this with you, instead of wearing a tight or high ponytail, because this minimizes the amount of time that your hair follicles are tension.

‘Also avoid elastic hair bands, because the friction of this can increase the tension on the roots. However, if you really like this trendy style, limit its use to the most once or twice a week. ‘

She said that if Traction Alopecia is caught early, this will limit the amount of permanent damage to the follicles and that strands must grow after six months to a year ago.

“Unfortunately, if the traction Alopecia is advanced to a more serious level, you may need a hair transplant to restore the original hairline and to combat the hair loss that this has been experienced,” she said.

But some content makers said they are aware that slick back rolls are ruining their strands – but just don’t seem to be bothered.

The British online gym coach Beth made a video of herself that was wearing the popular hairstyle and wrote what others had said to her: “You are going to get a recovering hairline that has a smooth back roll every day.”

Beth then endorsed her video: “Karen, I don’t care.”

Robert Eaton, creative director at Russell Eaton Salons and Trichologist, said that slick back rolls can also cause hairfollicle infections.

He said: ‘After a while, this tension can disrupt the natural growth pattern, causing the hair to fall out. Wearing this style can also cause follicles, leading to conditions such as folliculitis and even infections, both of which can contribute to further hair loss.

“The hairline is particularly vulnerable because the strands are finer and less resilient than those elsewhere on the scalp, making it more sensitive to progressive thinner.”

Victoria Lynch, hair loss expert and founder of Premium Human Hair Extension Brand Remi Cachet, added that if the hairstyle is repeatedly worn, this can lead to traction alopecia at the front, sides and neck of the hairline.
