Anyone ever get a headache from having your hair tied too tight?? Mines been up in a claw all day and I had a headache, as soon as I took my hair down the headache went away. How odd.

One of the reasons I rarely wear my hair up.

And it's miserably hot in the summer to have it down too

Yep!
Being in Fla. with long hair isn't comfortable-I have to wear a ponytail or it'll stick to my neck, or generally bug me. But it does give me headaches. If I start with a headache, it makes it worse..

I get headaches from those also so now I use "scrunchies". I normally don't have a problem with scrunchies unless I pull it way too tight.
But when I do get a headache from my hair being pulled back too tight the best thing in the world is to wash it and just massage the scalp.

Yeah, I get that. It comes from your hair being put into an unnatural position for too long... like, hair up in buns, braids piled on your head, "the claw", a ponytail pulled too tight up high for too long...

Your hair naturally wants to cascade, fall down... and when ya pull it up, there's the soreness!!!

I get scalp tenderness all the time. The longer your hair is & thicker/heavier it is, the more sore your scalp will become! Mine's to my waist, so I do the braided bun thing or pin it up somehow. By the time I reach my car at the end of the night, I'm pulling all of those things out & letting it fly! Donation day will be so liberating!

Oh, yes! I have thick hair, and its past my shoulders, and if I put it up in a ponytail when I havent had it thinned out in awhile, it'll not only make my scalp sore but cause a headache. The curse of thick hair!

Having my hair up all the time for school and work gave me horrible headaches, that is why I cut my hair fairly short. I never thought I would like it, but it is so easy.
