Headaches can come for a variety of reasons: stress, high blood pressure, an injury, even from the weather. Another reason why you may have headaches is the way you catch them. Some hairstyles can put pressure on your scalp, causing you to gradually feel pain.
- Ponytail
Beneath your hair follicles and on your head there are very sensitive nerves that can feel pain. A tail can cause a feeling of tightness in the nerves, which results in headaches. This very common condition is also known as ponytail headache syndrome.
- Headbands
Even people who use headbands can also have headaches. Constant pressure on the forehead and head area causes you pain, which is considered "external headache". If your accessory is too tight, avoid it.
- Tight Braids
Braids caught tightly behind the head can also cause an external headache. When your hair is very tight, pressure is applied to your scalp and in addition to damaging your hair, it also causes pain.
- Hair Extensions
With hair extensions you can look beautiful, but they can also give you strong headaches. Adding so much weight to your hair creates tension in the scalp and excessive pulling of the scalp and hair glands, makes the nerves in the scalp become sensitive. Unlike any other model, hair extensions put constant pressure on your head.
- How to relieve a headache:
- Gently massage the scalp and scalp area, especially where you have pain.
- Avoid excessive and heavy hair accessories.
- Try hairstyles that do not put too much pressure on the scalp.
- Get enough sleep.
- Do not forget that from time to time, in certain cases, or even for fun, we can break these "rules" and style our hair as we want.
