Does your hair seem to break easily? The reason may be the wrong kind of ponytail loop, the hairdresser explains.
Ponnari may damage the hair. So it doesn’t matter what kind of hair loop or buckle you use. Both the material and the width of the link matter.
– Plastic, really tight and thin ponnars usually strain and damage the hair more than wide and evenly distributed versions, reveals the hairdresser Camilla Boman.

– The pressure distributed evenly and over a wider area and changing the place of the bun are the best options if the hair feels like it is breaking due to the use of the bun.
You should prefer smooth natural materials, such as silk or bamboo, which are soft and hair-friendly.
– Cotton loops are not necessarily the best option, because cotton is a harder and rougher natural material, Boman clarifies.

In addition, in Boman’s opinion, it is good to think about whether the hair could be held more lightly or fixed by some other means, such as various clips, headbands, scarves or bows.
It’s also worth thinking about whether you could also give your hair a break and take days in between to use the hair straightener completely.

If damage has already occurred, Boman advises to use a reasonable amount of structure repairing products and moisturizing hair care products.

– To smooth the surface of the hair, i.e. to control breakage and frizz, you can try, for example, leave-in conditioners, cream-like styling products, oils and light varnish.
With the help of your hairdresser or, for example, an expert hair product seller, you can find the best possible products for everyone’s hair.
