does sleeping with your hair in a pony hurt it?

Question

i have short hair so i cant tie it but i was just wondering because one of the reasons i cut my hair short was because my hair was so damaged

Answer 1

even if it does i am sure it could not have done that much damage

Answer 2

Hello again Milo,
No, a pony tale doesn't do the damage. But if you hold the pony tale up with rubber bands, the bands will cause breakage. There are pony tale holders you can buy in the grocery store or drug store for around $5 that won't hurt your hair. I have worn a pony tale for many years, as part of my style, and I have no damage from that, even though I have very thin, fine hair.
To prevent future damage to your hair, use a product you will find only in salons called Nexus. It's the best product for your hair.

Answer 3

Anytime you put your hair up you run the risk of damaging your hair: it puts stress at the point that the band holds it: don't do it when going to sleep: it will break your hair, or strain it.
I'm telling you, if I didn't know any better I'd say this is a time warp with questions from me in my past.
Be sure to condition the ends of your hair very well; I use Aussie Moist conditioner and Aussie Smooth Shampoo.
Never rely on a shampoo with conditioner to give your hair the moisture it needs.
When you use conditioner correctly, it also cuts down on frizz and breakage.

Answer 4

I dont think a lose pony would hurt your hair. I know pulling out your pony too hard can break off your hair and hurt it, so you should always be gentle when you do that. I sleep with my hair in a ponytail sometimes & I have really healthy hair :) I think a good shampoo and conditioner make more a difference when it comes to hair health.

Answer 5

yes, it breaks it. I know it for a fact since my hair is very long and I always tend to wear it up. There is alot of breakage toward the middle of my hair.
