Does making your hair stand up in any way (purposefully+stylistically) cause it harm to the point it could harm hair?

Purely anecdotally, from seeing what happens to other women's hair, scraping it hard back from the face into a bun or ponytail (aka "Croydon facelift") does lead to a receding hairline. Making your hair stand up doesn't pressure the hair follicle like that though, so I think you're good. I still have all my hair after decades of stand-up styling.
