Does man bun or wearing hair clips causes receding hairline?

Question

I'm 23yrs male. I'm thinking of styling my hair with man bun and I usually started using Hair clips daily. I feel no pressure on the hair. Actually I'm conscious about it. My question is does wearing hair clips daily and making the hair in same style daily causes receding hairline.

Sanusi Umar, MD · Answer

Wearing hair clips and styling hair into a bun everyday can cause traction alopecia if either pull at the follicles at the hairline and edges. Traction alopecia, or “tension hair loss”, occurs when hair follicles are ripped from their roots, tearing at their structure. The baldness that results is permanent. This hair loss is often seen in women who have worn harsh hairstyles for an extended period of time, such as braids, weaves, tight ponytails, and extensions. If you notice a recession in your hairline or your edges, consult a doctor for a diagnosis and treatment method.

It is my opinion, that any styling that puts stress or tension on the hair follicles has the  capacity to cause hair loss. The most common of these is braiding, extensions, clips and tight styling.PRPHAIRMD.COM

A man bun can cause traction alopecia and receding. However, so can hairline maturation and early androgenetic alopecia. Please see a hair specialist in order to get a precise diagnosis. That is essential at this point. Depending on the precise cause, the treatments will be different.
