Sleek buns became the updo of the summer thanks to Hailey Bieber 's iconic trend-setting - but now hair experts are warning of damaging effects. The model was often snapped sporting her laid-back but chic style, with the tight bun completing the sophisticated look.
It became an instant hit on TikTok, with more than 126 million hashtags from beauty bloggers recreating the hairstyle, which saw it become one of the biggest HairTok trends of 2022. The updo - which involved parting two sections at the front to later scrape back into a bun tied with an elastic bobble - was a staple style for those who needed to push back their hair wash day.
However now weeks later, women and hairstylists are warning about the lasting damage caused by the super scraped back bun, which can even cause a type of alopecia. A beauty and lifestyle TikToker - @melbellles - issued a warning to other fans, saying: "To all my girlies who rocked the Hailey Bieber tight slicked-back bun all summer and now has hair loss and a receding hairline… wya".
