The top knot bun is popular with men and women. Now dermatologists are warning the top knot is causing an increase in traction alopecia cases, especially in men.

Traction alopecia is hair loss caused by persistent tugging of roots over several hours. This used to be a problem that only women had to deal with, but now dermatologists are seeing an increase in this happening to men. They say we probably won't see the full effect of this for a few years. You should know if it's happening to you because you hair starts thinning out on the top of your head.

It is not just the top knot bun doing this to people, it's also hair extensions and braiding. Any hairstyle that pulls on your roots put's you at risk.

GQ says if you happen to sport longer locks and put it up in a bun from time to time, don't forget to let it all down every once in a while. You won't just look good, but you'll guarantee you've got a flowing, handsome mane for years to come.
