The title of the main hairstyle of 2023 rightfully deserves a “slick” bun or slick back bun. This is exactly the case when styling, which was previously done mainly on models from the catwalk, first conquered TikTok, and then went far beyond its borders. But as it turned out, this hairstyle is harmful to the hair. Before moving on to its disadvantages, let’s understand how it became so popular.

Nowadays, you can see Hollywood stars, influencers, TikTok bloggers and street style heroes wearing a stylish bun. One of the main reasons for its popularity is its compliance with the clean girl aesthetic (“clean girl aesthetic”), which is the leading beauty trend of recent years. Its unofficial ambassador can be called Hailey Bieber. Glowing skin, glossy lips, sparkling nails, minimal make-up and neat hair – this is what a “clean girl” should be like. Therefore, a smooth bun without a note of negligence fits perfectly into this image.
How to make a smooth bun?
Repeated installation is easy. First you need to make a straight parting and then apply mousse or another styling product to the strands that will make your hair shine. After that, you need to comb your hair back (it is better to do this with a brush) and make a ponytail. Then apply fixing varnish to the combed hair and those remaining in the ponytail. Now you need to make one or more strands from the hair in the tail and wrap it around the base of the tail to form a bun. Secure it all with an elastic band and fix any stray hairs with another spray of hairspray.

A few months after the explosion of the smooth bun, videos began to appear on TikTok about how girls who did their hair every day developed partial alopecia. The fact is that hair styled in this way is in a tense state for quite a long time. This puts more stress on the hair follicle. Therefore, it weakens at best and declines at worst.
Of course, nothing will happen to your hair if you make a stylish bun once, twice or even three times with an interval of a few days. This style is not suitable for daily use as it does not allow the hair to relax and remain in its natural state. However, you should not give up on your hair style; The main thing is to know when to stop.
