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.'

CEO dad who became viral hero after crying at Olivia Rodrigo concert speaks out about the tender moment
When Christian Lopez took his two daughters to see their favorite artist Olivia Rodrigo in concert, he never expected to be bawling in the audience. Most dads forced to sit through a Olivia show would zone out - being forced to spend two hours listening to pop music in a crowded and hot arena isn't really any man's idea of fun. But Christian, 51, found himself unexpectedly getting emotional during one segment of the show - when Olivia started singing about her insecurities. As hoards of young girls around him belted out the lyrics to a song about not feeling 'pretty enough,' Christian - the founder of a pickleball training company - couldn't help but tear up. His wife Leslie Lupton caught the tender moment on camera and shared it to TikTok where it recently viral, gaining more than 3.3 million views and turning Christian into a social media sensation practically over night. While chatting exclusively with the Daily Mail about it, the couple, from Carmel, Indiana, explained that while Christian had heard 'plenty' of Olivia's songs from their two daughters Zadie, 15, and Darien, 12, playing them in the car and around the house, he had never really paid attention to the lyrics before. But when he started to register to the powerful message in her hit Pretty Isn't Pretty during the concert, it struck a chord with the CEO. Footage showed the businessman looking around at girls around him who were crying before he himself broke down in tears. 'Looking over and seeing our daughters, along with so many other girls, crying and singing every word [to that song], it really got to him,' Laura shared of her husband's emotional reaction. 'In that moment, it hit him on such a deep level - both the meaning of the lyrics and the beauty of watching them connect to it so fully. 'Experiencing it live, the vibe in the crowd was electric, and the words just felt so powerful.' 'Bought a bunch of makeup, tryna cover up my face / I started to skip lunch, stopped eating cake on birthdays,' the lyrics read. 'I bought a new prescription to try and stay calm / 'Cause there's always something missing, there's always something in the mirror that I think looks wrong.' Laura explained that they had gifted their daughter Zadie tickets to the Chicago music festival Lollapalooza for her birthday. The four-day-long event, which took place at the end of July, featured multiple artists, but Christian joined Laura and Zadie with their younger daughter Darien for Olivia's set. 'Looking over and seeing our daughters, along with so many other girls, crying and singing every word [to that song], it really got to him,' Laura shared of her husband's reaction She said she 'never imaged' the video would get the reaction that it did, and vowed that Christian 'doesn't see himself as a hero.' 'I shared the video simply to capture a moment that felt so alive and full of emotion - watching their faces light up when Olivia took the stage was indescribable,' she gushed. 'They kept saying, "Every time I hear this song, I'll remember this exact moment!" As a parent, moments like that fill you with so much pride and love. 'You realize how deeply your daughters feel, how connected they are to the world around them, and it's humbling and beautiful to see someone else recognize the intensity of that feeling too. 'And then seeing Christian's face in that moment of realization - it was just incredible. 'He doesn't see himself as a hero - he's just a dad, and a man who loves supporting his girls and the women who surround them.' Laura said it's been 'so moving' seeing how many people 'connected' with that moment. 'It's really about celebrating all those strong young women who were there, showing so much love, emotion, and strength,' she added. 'He was simply honored to be part of it alongside them.' In the end, the couple said they hope that people use the video as a lesson that 'we often don't know what others are experiencing or what will truly touch them.' 'It's a reminder to stay aware and compassionate,' they concluded. 'Empathy alone isn't enough - when we witness moments that move others, we have a responsibility to recognize the impact, and to create a world where those experiences and voices are valued, not dismissed.'
