Most people don’t realize this… but tight headbands and hair ties are one of the top causes of traction alopecia — slow, silent hair thinning from everyday tension.
When your hair is pulled back too tight (especially during workouts, running, or high-sweat athletic performance), the constant pressure weakens the hairline.
Regular hair ties snap strands. Hard headbands pull edges. And over time, that “secure” feeling becomes breakage you can actually see.
How to protect your hair
- Use soft, fabric-covered elastics
- Avoid extreme tightness
- Choose headwear that supports without ripping
And here’s the part no one talks about…
The Laze Headband by Motion Luxx was built for exactly this:
Soft stretch. Full fabric coverage. A covered elastic hair-tie built inside to hold your hair without ripping it out.
It’s the kind of tension-free support athletes dream about—secure, sweat-friendly, and gentle on your scalp.
