Can long hair cause hair loss?

I'm continuing to grow my hair out, but lately I feel like I'm losing a lot more when I wash or dry it, so I'm worried 😥

I'm wondering if long hair itself could cause hair loss due to its weight.

Maybe it's because I always tend to wear my hair tied up, but I also frequently feel a pulling sensation on my scalp.

I'm confused whether this is just temporary or an early symptom of hair loss...

I'm curious if there are ways to prevent hair loss while maintaining long hair, and I'm also interested in habits for tying it up and hair care methods.

I would appreciate advice from those who have had similar experiences.
