Don’t Touch Your Hair Too Much
We know it’s tempting, but please, don’t do it. Any sort of pressure or touching on the hair shaft will cause “traction.” Putting your hair into a ponytail is one of the main reasons for traction. According to Bordone, “Constant mild pulling on the follicle will slowly traumatize the hair.” If you keep touching your hair all the time, you might get a receding hairline. Playing with your split ends or twirling the hair also causes damage, so please don’t touch your hair unless it’s absolutely necessary.
