Celebrities who were deemed uncool until lately, like Olivia Rodrigo, Taylor Swift, and Kylie Jenner, are embracing this hairdo. 

In addition to becoming a fashion statement, the hair flip turns out to be beneficial for you.

A dermatologist from Texas named Dr. Elizabeth Geddes-Bruce claimed that switching up your hairstyle can strengthen it and reduce its brittleness. 

She clarified, saying that if you style your hair in the same way every time, certain of your hairs will likely experience damage over and over again.

“If your hair is always in the middle, you’re probably going to flat-iron it more or use your hair dryer to heat it up the most, and those kinds of things can lead to more breakage of the hair shaft.”

Dr. Geddes-Bruce told CBS News that “switching it up absolutely can improve your hair health.”

According to the dermatologist, “you’re giving those hairs a chance to sort of rest and not get broken or subjected to as much trauma… you’re definitely minimising the repeated exposure of those irritating agents to those same hairs” by switching between a centre and side part.

However, the way the hair grows won’t change if you change the way you separate it.

However, it can aid with sun damage protection. ‘That one area of your scalp is continually exposed to the sun’s UV rays and oxidative stress’, according to Stephanie Sey, an expert trichologist for Nizoral and an expert in Afro hair, who told Glamour that if you wear your hair in the same way every day.

According to Anabel Kingsley, brand president and consultant trichologist at Philip Kingsley, switching up your parting can help keep the skin on your scalp from scorching. She also told Glamour.

She went on, “You should switch up your hair part every couple of days to get the most benefits.”

However, you can still benefit from them without going to great lengths. 

“Even a small adjustment of a few millimetres in your parting will help,” Ms. Sey stated. “Different hairstyles will also reduce the tension on your scalp.”

Experts have cautioned that putting your hair back in a very tight bun or updo may be harmful to your scalp.

Hair loss brought on by excessive tugging or pressure on the hair is known as traction alopecia.

By causing irreversible harm to hair follicles, it can stop hair from growing back. 

The hair follicle may get so stretched from the tension that the hair falls off. 

Alopecia is the word used to describe any loss of hair, however traction alopecia is a particular kind brought on by persistent pulling.

Hair loss may arise from certain hairstyles, including braids, dreadlocks, tight buns and ponytails, cornrows, and extensions.

With time and no further stress on the follicles, the damages of traction alopecia can be reversed if the condition is treated before it gets worse.

Hair transplants might be the only way to encourage growth in particular locations where hair will not regrow due to excessive follicle damage.
