Why? Well, for one, all those elastics and clips can't be good for our hair. They're perfectly fine once in a while, but if we make a habit of using them everyday, we could eventually cause damage and breakage to our hair. Of course, I understand that sometimes we need to put out hair up (studying, working out) so my suggestion would be to get those ribbon hair ties, as they are much gentler on hair than those damaging elastic bands. Clips however, are very damaging, so try to avoid those as much as you can.
Another reason to keep your hair down is so that it is able to shed properly. It sounds a little weird, but hair needs to shed everyday, and when we keep our hair up the whole day, we are not allowing our hair to properly shed which could in turn cause MORE hair loss when we let our hair down at the end of the day.
So, as easy as it is to throw our hair up and be done with it, it is a much healthier alternative to let our hair down. It will grow faster and sustain less damage. So do your tresses a favour and ditch that ponytail! lol.
