During rainy weather, it is better to avoid tight ponytails, buns, braids, and other hairstyles that pull strongly on your hair roots. Humidity can already make hair more fragile, frizzy, and prone to breakage. Constant pulling from tight hairstyles may increase hair breakage and, over time, contribute to traction-related hair loss.
Choose loose hairstyles that put less pressure on the scalp. If you tie your hair, use soft scrunchies or fabric-covered hair ties instead of tight rubber bands. Avoid tying your hair when it is completely wet, because wet hair is more delicate and can break more easily.
Also, change your hairstyle regularly instead of putting pressure on the same areas of the scalp every day. Give your hair some time to remain loose, especially when you are at home.
Simple tip: Keep your hairstyle comfortable—if you feel pulling, pain, or tightness around your scalp, loosen it.
