Wearing hair bands on the wrist seems to be a practical and convenient solution. But have you thought about the consequences of this custom? Note that if you have been wearing a tight hair tie all day, or even tight socks or leggings, there are likely temporary indentations in the skin that remain when you take them off. It turns out that the effects of long-term pressure on the wrist can be truly destructive.
Do you ever wear a hair tie on your wrist? Better give up this habit
Dermatologist Dhaval Bhanusali from Hudson Dermatology & Laser Surgery in New York warns against wearing too tight hair bands on the wrist. This practice can cause a temporary indentation that is usually caused by physical pressure. In the long run, we may face unpleasant health problems.
If the hair tie is too tight and blood flow is obstructed, there is certainly a risk of more serious injury. In general, blood flow should never be restricted to any area of the body, especially for long periods of time.
The doctor pays attention to signs such as a cold or white area of skin around the wrist. This is a sign that the hair tie on your wrist is too tight and not enough blood is reaching where it should be. A long-term habit of wearing a hair tie on the wrist can lead to: loss of circulation, swelling and bruising, vein problems such as thrombosis, as well as nerve pressure and impaired sensation. Then we may also be dealing with a serious disease called carpal tunnel syndrome, the symptoms of which include: numbness in the fingers, numbness in the hands and a feeling as if they had been electrocuted.
Hairband. Why you shouldn’t wear it on your wrist?
Some materials or materials from which a hair tie is made may also have undesirable consequences for our health. Dermatologist Rina Allawh of Schweiger Dermatology Group in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, warns that wearing a hair tie may trigger an allergic skin reaction in some people, which may be caused by the nickel, rubber or dyes in the hair tie.
These allergic reactions resemble a pink, scaly or scaly rash and may leave residual discoloration.
If you want to avoid the consequences of wearing a hair tie on your wrist, give up this habit. It would be better if you worked out how to keep it in your pocket or purse.
