TikTok slime hair masks may lead to hair loss

An unusual beauty trend is gaining popularity on social media — slime hair masks that promise a laminating effect. Bloggers advise rubbing the sticky mass into the hair, leaving it on for 30 minutes, and then washing it off.

What do specialists say?

Trichologists warn that such experiments can seriously damage the hair structure, and in the worst case lead to traction alopecia — hair loss due to strong mechanical impact.

Why is this dangerous?

Toy slime is not intended for application to hair. Its composition may contain aggressive chemical substances, which destroy the hair cuticle, making it brittle and difficult to remove.

Marketplaces flooded with dubious products

Jars of chewable mass for hair have already appeared on online platforms, and bloggers are actively advertising them. However, no expert confirms their safety. Doctors recommend not risking hair health for the sake of viral trends.
