Women always seek to look good, and we try to instill that in our daughters. However, according to experts there is one hairstyle in particular, and one of our favorites, that can cause traction alopecia as well as spinal problems.
The classic and traditional chongo, they warn, is one of the most dangerous hairstyles that exists, because the way we hold our hair can cause damage, if you squeeze too much, leading to pain and health problems.
About hair loss they warn that the tension exerted causes it to break and this, over time, makes our hair grow thinner and slower.
As for the problems of the spine, because in our desire to take care of it, almost unconscious, we avoid putting the back of the head on surfaces so that the hairstyle does not fall apart, causing tension and damage to the head and back; increasing the risk of some kind of change in the functioning of these segments of the spine without even realizing it.
The most common that can occur are cervical and headaches that are caused by neck tension.
