Man buns.
The style of men pulling their hair into a knot above or behind their head has taken male fashion by storm. While there's no man bun institute offering official statistics, a casual stroll through any U.S. city or college town offers ample evidence for the trend.
While most of us probably know a relative, a friend or someone else who sports the look, science has two words that should strike fear into the heart of anyone who has embraced the fashionable 'do.
Traction alopecia. "It's really, really common," Jackson, Mississippi, dermatologist Sabra Sullivan told Mic. "I see it probably once or twice a week." The condition, which causes acute baldness around the forehead and temples, is a direct result of hairstyles that pull the hair over long periods of time.
"They're putting traction on the hair follicles that the hair is not really meant to take," Sullivan said, adding the behavior could lead to follicle death plus permanent scarring. "Traction alopecia in men is becoming more common," she said and agreed that man buns were at least partly to blame.
"In spite of the repeated admonitions, the pony tail in recent years has enjoyed unusual fascination and popularity among our younger females," Dr. Albert H. Slepyan wrote nearly 60 years ago. "It is clear that those who wear the pony tail longer and more tightly drawn are considered more
accomplished in the eyes of their contemporaries. It is the prolonged pulling of the hair backward and upward into a smoothly compacted corded hair bundle that has caused loss of hair in many of these persons."
Experts told Mic any hairstyle that creates overly tight hair pulling, regardless of gender, could produce irreversible long-term consequences. "Once you damage the hair follicle, it will not grow back," Dennis Zuniga, a high-end stylist at New York's Donsuki Salon, told Mic. Stern admonition even comes from no less a source than Derek Zoolander.

So go ahead and put your hair in a sissy looking pony tail that is longer and more tightly drawn because this is considered more accomplished in the eyes of some of your dumb contemporaries.
Go ahead and make your hair start falling out sooner before it does normally.
You think your looking cool, you feel more accomplished and it gets you more attention if you look like a girl with a hair bun.

Black women. Nowhere are the long-term consequences of persistent tight hairstyling more pronounced than among black women. "It's an epidemic," Seandee Gayden, a licensed braider in Las Vegas, told Mic. "Most people don't want to hear the truth, they'd rather be in denial."
Gayden said she often treats women of color with weaves and braids so tight they require ibuprofen to mitigate the resulting migraines.
"Tight equals baldness,". "The weave does not last longer because it's tight, it's going to make you bald."

Editor Note
If you need attention and want to be noticed don't wear tight braids or your hear in a tight bun.
You could shave your head and get attention especially if it looks like it has been polished. :)
Something else you could do to get attention is wear a hat that looks different such as a MAGA Hat!
