The danger of wearing your hair in a topknot every day

Ever since Audrey Hepburn wore what many considered to be a very high bun to a movie gala in Paris in 1962, topknots have been a staple of the hairdressing world.

Not only have ballerinas been sporting the slicked- back look for years, but people like Gwen Stefani, Ariana Grande and even Jared Leto sport the low-key style on the regular.

Instagram star Diva Hollands, who was a ballerina since she was 13-years-old has claimed that wearing her hair pulled back into a high topknot left her with a receding hairline.

"My mum tied my hair up really tight from when I was really little, and looking back at pictures you can see it started having an effect on my hairline," she told the Daily Mail.

"I was bullied for my hairline in primary school and then into secondary school, but it got really serious when I was about 13.

"Since then I was completely self-conscious about it and did everything I could to hide the area."

Diva quit ballet when she was 18-years-old and went on to become a model and after she gave birth to her son, she experienced more hair loss.

Last year, she underwent a Follicular Unit Transplantation in October and has noticed a dramatic improvement in her hairline.

While she is now extremely happy with her hair, she wants her story to act as a warning to others who wear their hair in a topknot everyday.

It definitely made us think twice about our easy, go-to hairstyle.
