Urgent ‘hairline SOS' warning from expert who's seen more bald spots than ever caused by a style she begs women to stop
A HAIRDRESSER has shared an urgent 'hairline SOS' warning. So if you want to ensure your locks look healthy and don't get damaged easily, then you've come to the right place and will need to take notes. 4 4 4 Marlie, a hair colourist and mother from Tahmoor, Australia, took to social media to reveal the very popular but incredibly damaging hairstyle she is 'begging' women to avoid. According to this stylist, the much-loved slick back look, whether that's a slick back bun or a slick back ponytail, is causing more bald spots than ever before. It's is a viral hairstyle that's taken not only the fashion world, but the red carpet, by storm. With huge celebs such as Hailey Bieber, Maya Jama and Molly-Mae Hague all showing off their sleek buns, which are often secured down with lots of hairspray, gel or mousse, the on-trend look has shown no signs of disappearing off the radar any time soon. But if you love the slick back look, you may want to think twice about the damage it can cause. Alongside her short 'hairline SOS' clip, the blonde beauty said: 'Stop with the slick backs - I am seeing more tension alopecia now than I ever have in my entire career. 'If you are tying your hair up [in a slick back style] every single day, you are going to pull the hair out from around your hairline. 'It's so bad for your hair and your scalp health.' Sharing her advice on what to do instead, the pro continued: 'Alternatively, use a scrunchie or a claw clip - they don't have as much tension and it's so much better for your hair and your scalp.' Clearly concerned about the damage such slick back hairstyles can cause, Marlie sternly advised: 'Give it up.' Marlie's TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @ hairbymarlieau, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 164,400 views. Not only this, but it's also amassed 1,861 likes, 131 comments and 2,144 shares. Many beauty fans confessed to feeling 'attacked' by the expert's concerns, but others were incredibly thankful for her advice. Stop with the slick backs - I am seeing more tension alopecia now than I ever have in my entire career Marlie One person said: 'I feel attacked, but agree.' Another added: 'This was me! I used to wear a high ponytail everyday and started getting a bald thinning patch in the elastic area. Now I use loose scrunchies or low less tight ponytails and also wear my hair out to give it a break.' A third commented: ' 51 and this is so true. Years of wearing my hair in a high bun has done so much damage.' Everything you need to know about hair loss Marie Nieuwoudt, a Group Education Manager at CLOUD NINE told Fabulous everything you need to know regarding hair loss. What are the common causes of hair loss? Marie explained: "There are so many reasons why someone may face hair loss. "The number one reason is usually hormonal changes or underlying health conditions (like thyroid conditions), and stress of course also plays a big part in changes to your hair health. "But another very common day-to-day cause is excessive damage to your hair created by mistakes in your styling routines – and this a big one to be aware of for people who are regularly applying heat to their hair! "It's important to know the right temperature for your hair type when using styling tools, as this is essential in reducing unintentional heat damage. "I also see a lot of people facing hair loss resulting from hereditary conditions, which are passed down from generation to generation." What are the best hairstyles people should try to reduce their hair loss? According to Marie: "Less is more when it comes to hair loss! It's important to be gentle with your hair, so a low-maintenance style that limits pulling on your scalp will be your best option. "Putting your hair up in a tight ponytail or adding hair clips can cause stress points at the roots. "Instead, try leaving your hair down, or out. "You're not limited in your options, but it pays to be intentional with your hair styling. Using tools which limit damage to your hair is vital. "Discussing your concerns with a hairdresser or hair loss specialist is also a great way to find styles that suit your specific needs, whilst still making sure you look and feel your best." How long does it take for hair loss to stop? If you're itching to know when your hair will grow back, Marie confirmed: "Hair loss is a personal journey – and it's different for everyone, so it's very difficult to put exact timings on this process. "Every head of hair is unique, and so too is your hair loss experience. "As always, you can speak to a professional hairdresser or trichologist about your specific concerns and hair changes, and they'll be able to help you manage those expectations. "I can't emphasise enough how important it is to be kind to your hair. Most people treat their hair quite roughly, and this is something you definitely want to avoid when dealing with hair loss in particular. "Make sure you're choosing products and styling routines that you know are good for your hair, rather than causing additional damage." Someone else admitted: 'Yep, I'm living proof.' At the same time, one beauty fan beamed: 'Ok I love this! I love that you said stop it, gave a reason why and then gave an alternative! At the start I was like 'well I can't I have to have my hair tied up" and then came the end! Thank you! 'So many people give unsolicited advice with no alternative ideas and it's frustrating so I appreciate you!' Meanwhile, one user penned: "It's hard when you work in the hospitality industry and you need to tie your hair back a lot.' But to this, Marlie wrote back and explained: 'You can still tie it up without doing it with heaps of tension.'

The series marks Jackie's first non-Neighbours role in more than 30 years. The plot thickens when Amanda, played by Kym, arrives claiming to be Helen's long-lost daughter given up for adoption years ago. As Amanda integrates into the family, doubts arise about her true identity, leading to a gripping tale of deception and betrayal that culminates in murder. It comes after Kym seemingly hit back at a viral 'fat-shaming' clip from her Hear'Say heyday as she flashed her abs in a mirror selfie on Instagram. She looked chilly as a crew member fixed her summery outfit ahead of the scene The former soap star was joined on set by Australian actress Jane Harber, who cut a smart figure in a blue suit which she layered over a shirt and dark waistcoat In the resurfaced 2002 clip, the singer was seen being ordered to ' lose weight ' by judge Nigel Lythgoe - who earned the nickname 'Nasty Nigel' for his scathing behaviour on pioneering ITV talent show Popstars.

In the clip, Kym asked, 'Do you think I'm fat?', to which Nigel replied, 'I think you've put weight on over Christmas, are you exercising, is the diet right?' Kym replied: 'I've just started it today', prompting Nigel to add, 'You need to lose some weight you're going on show six weeks from now, six weeks.' Myleene has reshared the video to her Instagram Stories and said being fat-shamed was a 'daily' occurrence, while stylists would remove sizes from clothes to hide 'the shame' of having double-digit sizes. She wrote: 'Yes Daily. Stylist often cut the sizes out of some bands outfits to hide the 'shame' of 'double digits'. 'My Hear'say diaries are FULL of this s***. The boys were also shamed. Remember, TFI Friday had scales on set.'
