I have honey blonde hair that is fine, but I have a lot of it. It comes down past my shoulders. Because it is naturally wavy/curly, when I get out of the shower, I towel dry, put in leave-in conditioner, and then put it back into a ponytail (while it's still wet). That way it dries straight at the front. My hair seems very healthy. However, is it damaging to my hair to pull it back while it's wet? Thank you!

hm. well how tight is the ponytail? like if it's really tight, you MAY have hairloss problems later in your life because the roots are being tugged at while they're in your skull's skin. so, more hair is likely to fall out as you age because the roots have died. it's like a loose tooth - the looser it is, the more likely it is that it will fall out.
if the ponytail is loose-ish (like how many times over does the scrunchie go?) then it's probably not harmful.
use the thin kind of scrunchies rather than the thick kind because the thin kind don't hold AS tightly. i understand that you want your hair to be straight in the front [thats fine] but you'll still get the same results even if you don't do it as tightly as you are right now. :]
