Why does my scalp hurt when I tie my hair? Is it a disease?

There are many blood vessels and nerves on the head. If we tie our hair tightly, we will experience scalp pain. This is not caused by any disease. We just need to pay more attention to it in our daily lives.

1. The reason why ponytails cause headaches is mainly because our scalp is full of nerves and blood vessels and is quite sensitive. Improper pressure or pulling can easily cause vasoconstriction and nerve reflex, leading to headaches.

2. This type of headache is simple to treat and prevent. First of all, it is not advisable to keep a ponytail for a long time. Once you have the opportunity to relax, you should quickly remove the headband to give your scalp a rest. Secondly, women with long or thick hair should not try this hairstyle because the braids are heavy and can cause severe damage to the scalp. Additionally, women who often wear buns may encounter the same problems as ponytails. It is not advisable to tie it too tightly or keep this hairstyle unchanged for a long time.

3. The meridians of the human body and even the Du meridian pass through the scalp fascia on the top of the head. The top of the head is also covered with nerve branches. When you tie your hair, the meridians and nerves will be involved, and headaches will come from this. Different ways of tying your hair will have different effects on the head. The bun or ponytail tied high on the top of the head should be tied at the Baihui point of the human body. If the hair is tied too tightly, it will affect the absorption of Yang energy.
