The Hair Stylist Says That How You Wear Your Hair While Working Out Could Be A Major Problem
Ponytails are a staple hairstyle for anyone with long hair. It’s easy, simple, and stylish. Celebrities are always wearing sleek ponytails to fancy events.

Furthermore, most people like throwing their hair back in a messy ponytail when running errands or working out at the gym. But some experts have warned that the ponytail is the culprit to hair damage and breakage.
Tom Smith (@tomsmithhd) is a celebrity hairstylist who is all about hair health. He informs those who exercise that ponytails are harming your hair.
One Sunday morning, Tom saw a girl jogging. He couldn’t help but notice that the girl’s hair was swishing side to side across her back. He likened it to ‘whiplash for your hair.’
“If you go for a run and you have your hair loose whipping back and forth, it’s an absolute recipe for split ends and really dry friction burn on the ends of your hair,” he warns.
Tom advises those with long hair to tightly wrap or braid those locks into a neat little bun so that it’s not moving as you run.
According to Tom, this is the best way to avoid ruining your hair during your morning jog.

Some TikTok users are taking Tom’s advice as an excuse to quit working out.
“So are you saying I have to drop exercising to have healthy hair? DONE BESTIE,” commented one user.
“Better be safe and not run at all,” said another.
“All I heard was that running is a terrible idea,” said a third.
Tom has more exciting hair-related video content to check out. For instance, in one video, he describes some popular hair trends as well as hair trends that are currently out of style.
If you’re bored with your current haircut, Tom suggests going for some face-framing layers with a side parting. Golden blonde, copper, and very dark glossy hair are all trendy colors right now.
Hair colors to avoid are chocolate brunette and mahogany, plum, and reddish tones. You should also stay away from a full head of highlights, French girl bobs, fringes and bangs. But, of course, Tom tells viewers to do what they truly want with their hair, whether the style is considered in or out.
“The best trend is the one that makes you feel amazing! Trend forecasting is simply to inspire those who find it interesting. You do you,” wrote Tom.
