Hard hair and soft hair have different effects of tying hair with rubber bands. Generally speaking, tying your hair with a rubber band may leave marks on your hair, especially if it is hard. This is because bristles are not easily fixed by rubber bands, and rubber bands will produce greater pressure, leading to the generation of marks. In contrast, soft hair is easier to be fixed by rubber bands, so it may leave relatively few traces after being bound by rubber bands.
However, it is not ideal to tie your hair with a rubber band for a long time, whether it is hard hair or soft hair. Frequent tying of hair may lead to excessive hair tension, damage to hair roots, and even hair breakage and alopecia. Therefore, no matter whether the hair is soft or hard, it is suggested to reduce the use of rubber bands to tie the hair appropriately, and try to choose soft hair binding tools to protect hair health.
