As useful as this hairstyle is, you apparently have to be careful with it.
Do you regularly wear your hair in a slick (or sleek) back bun? We understand. This hairstyle is currently completely on trend and is also great for postponing your hair wash day. But what happens now? The slick back bun can also make you go bald faster. Oh oh!
Slick back bun
We see it more and more often on TikTok: the slick back bun. Several A-listers flaunted this – think: Hailey Bieber and Sofia Richie – and the trend flew to the Netherlands and the rest of Europe in no time.
The name of the look actually says it all. The hair is combed back tightly and secured with an elastic band. You can then choose between a ponytail or a bun. What makes this hair look so popular is its minimalism. This way you look classy and chic, but you can finish your hairstyle in no time. Wonderful, if you ask us.
Criticism of tutorial
As we said, Sofia Richie, among others, is a big fan of the slick back bun, which is why she received many questions from followers for a tutorial. And Sofia is not the most difficult at this, so shortly afterwards she posted a video on her TikTok how she creates her sleek back bun. She wets her hair and then puts a hair mask in it. Once she has succeeded, she combs all her hair back tightly – really tightly – and secures it in a bun.

Many followers thank her for this quick and easy tutorial, but not everyone in the comments is the same. A number of people also criticize Sofia’s tutorial and say that it is not good for your hair to comb it straight back. According to them, you are not supposed to wear your hair this way, let alone keep a hair mask in your hair for longer than the recommended time. The result? An irritated scalp, which can lead to hair loss.
Causes
Do you think the slick back bun is a beautiful and quick way to style your hair in an elegant way? Then you have to pay close attention. For example, if you have very thin hair, there is a good chance that your scalp will become more visible with this sleek look, making it look like you have bald spots. In addition, this look is also not recommended if you have baldness at the front of the hairline. Combing your hair back with this look makes it look even more like you are bald. And you don’t want that! Finally, there is also a chance that you are simply using the incorrect technique. For example, are you not tying your hair properly or too tight? This can lead to too much tension on the roots, which can cause your hair to break and become thinner.
