While many young heartthrob gives this look a trendy feel, someone who sports this kind of hairdo should definitely read what modern scientist fear about.

So what's really gotten these scientists cracking? The common Traction Alopecia. According to a renowned dermatologists from Jackson, Mississippi, Doctor Sabra Sullivan, this kind of condition causes acute baldness around the forehead and temples. This is due to long periods of time that the hair is pulled up.



Once the hair follicles are being pulled longer and tighter, it causes traction that the hair is not meant to take. This kind of acute baldness is becoming more common to most men who do the famous Man Bun.

However, it is not only the Man Bun that creates this kind of consequences.
