People have been warned against wearing a hair tie on their wrists for a long period of time, especially at night.
For many people, keeping a hairband around their wrist is the most convenient placement as it is on hand to tie up long hair, or to let others borrow it, reports Nottinghamshire Live.
However, there are some dangers that come with keeping a bobble on your wrist for extended periods of time - including infection and limiting blood flow.
You can restrict the blood flow to your hand if you keep a hair tie on your wrist for a long time, especially during the night - as the bobble can end up rolling up your arm and becoming uncomfortable, leaving indents.
Those who love a decorative hair bobble, full of glitter and other sparkly things, can end up getting infections from this accessory, specifically if you have open wounds on your arms.
One woman felt the force of a hair tie decision gone wrong. Kentucky resident, Audree Kopp, ended up with a bad infection on her wrist.
The woman was busy moving into a new home, and didn't notice how long she had kept her glittery hair band on her wrist until she noticed a large, painful bump beginning to form.
The hair tie rubbing on her wrist had caused a graze, allowing bacteria to enter her skin and create an infection.
When antibiotics didn't rid her body of the issue, she visited a hospital where doctors performed surgery to drain the fluid from the abscess.
While this tale acts as a warning to those who always keep a hair bobble on their wrist, there are ways to keep yourself safe.
Just be mindful of how long the bobble has been on your wrist, and remember to take it off before you go to bed.
