Erling Haaland’s23, the hairstyle has already become a global phenomenon among, for example, young fans.

Few even remember that the Norwegian and Manchester City football star’s hair was much shorter just a couple of years ago.

She started wearing tight, head-hugging hairstyles and ponytails in 2021. Now her hair is talking in Sweden, among other places.

Expressen published an article on its paid side that speculated about the risks of that hairstyle. Expert Taavi Kaamanin according to Haaland may be suffering from alopecia, baldness.

Haircareking, a user who publishes hair-related videos on Tiktok illustratively with the help of pictures, that Haaland’s hairline has receded in recent years. The video has already received millions of views.

His assessment was that Haaland suffers from traction alopecia (in English Traction alopecia).

Haircareking, properly called Relaxed Kiefer, said that alopecia caused by pulling can get worse if the hair sweats a lot. Then the hair becomes heavier. When running, a tight ponytail can therefore contribute to receding hairline.

Kaaman, interviewed by Expressen, has researched alopecia caused by pulling.

– Haaland has long hair and a very tight hairstyle. Based on that, pulling alopecia could very well explain his receding hairline.

Kaaman reminds that the cause of hair loss in question is more common in women than in men.

– Then the hairline on the forehead moves back.

Expressen asked what his advice would be for Haaland if he suffers from hair loss.

– Don’t use a bun. Hair should be allowed to grow freely, Kaaman replied.
