It happens that the feeling when the hair roots on the head hurt, we leave without special attention, because we just removed the intricate styling. The pain caused by a tight bundle will go away by itself in a few minutes, if only the hair comes to its natural position. But what if the unpleasant sensations arise literally from scratch, for no apparent reason? Let's try to deal with this problem.
Does the roots have enough hair?
If your hair roots regularly hurt, and you can’t figure out what the reason is, first of all analyze if the scalp has enough nutrition both from the outside and from the inside. The modern rhythm of life is often accompanied by stress, nervous breakdowns, snacks on the run, a lack of oxygen and useful trace elements. The scalp, like all organs, needs vitamins that only balanced, high-quality nutrition can provide. Hair follicles need massage and regular blood flow. In this regard, remember how often you wash your hair and how much time you spend on massage by combing your hair with a good natural comb? Trying to answer the question why hair roots hurt, analyze how many styling products you use daily? Perhaps it is in numerous mousses, foams and varnishes that the cause of pain is hidden?
When can pain occur?
As we found out, the most common pain on the hair follicles is an overly tight hairstyle. The hair roots on the head also hurt when combing, when throwing hair, and even when styling. All these sensations cannot be ignored. The body through the hair follicles signals you that it is time to take some measures. Next, we will analyze in more detail the causes of unpleasant sensations, and also consider measures to prevent them.
Improper scalp care
How often do you buy detergents, balms and masks that are not at all suitable for your hair type? It happens that there is no time to look for a suitable remedy, and we take in the store any advertised shampoo that is not at all suitable for our hair type. Or mom gives for the next holiday a beautifully packaged set, which is a pity to throw away, so I have to use it. But in vain. After all, hair follicles will not say “thank you”, but the answer to the question: “Why does the hair roots on the head hurt?” lies on the surface. An even more prosaic reason is the regular use of combs made of cheap plastic, against which the head rebelled.
How to fix the situation?
To prevent the consequences, use hygiene products suitable for your hair, but it is better to consult a cosmetologist. Forget about cheap scallops that can only irritate your scalp. Get a good wooden comb or massage comb with round, even and natural teeth. And hair often needs to be given a rest from the chemical compounds included in styling products. Therefore, if the hair roots are sore, do complex styling with fixation only on holidays. By the way, this also applies to excessively tight hairstyles, which should not be created more than 3 times a week. Clean loose hair, not burdened with chemical compounds - this is the key to preventing pain.
Dry scalp
If we can visually determine the dryness of the skin on the face, then, unfortunately, we are not able to independently identify the same problem on the head. We can only guess about overdried scalp from the sudden unpleasant sensations that arose. Therefore, if your hair roots are sore, ask a specialist to assess the condition of the skin, tell us about peeling, itching, dandruff. All these symptoms are evidence of dry skin.
How to prevent a problem?
To prevent excessive dryness of the scalp, you can use special nourishing and moisturizing masks, balms and shampoos. In addition, the problem of dry scalp can be caused by internal factors, which in this way signal about some significant diseases. Therefore, for the benefit of their own health, a trip to a specialist and a comprehensive solution to the problem will not be out of place.
Improper blood circulation
If the hair roots hurt, a malfunction in the blood circulation can also be the cause of this phenomenon. Symptoms are manifested mainly in people prone to hypertension. This phenomenon is a harbinger of vascular disease. This problem is quite serious, therefore, it requires examination and recommendations of the attending physician. To avoid problems with blood circulation on the head, you should, first of all, stop walking without a headdress during colds. Wear hats, because hats have the power to protect hair follicles from low temperature and, therefore, from narrowing of blood vessels.
Nervous Disorders
At the very beginning of the publication, we walked through casually for all the reasons that are the answer to the question of why hair roots hurt? Stress and nervous disorders can cause various pain, including on the scalp. Try to change your lifestyle, spend more time in the fresh air and fully relax, then the discomfort will disappear by itself. In the meantime, to relieve pain, do a light relaxing massage with your fingers using circular motions. During the massage, make sure that the movements are neat and smooth.
Hairstyle change
If a woman notices that her hair roots on the top of her head hurt, this can be caused by a change in hairstyle. For example, the left part was transformed into the right. Changing hairstyles to the head is necessary, because this is the only way to avoid depletion of hair follicles, leading to unwanted hair loss. However, the pain in this case (as well as in the case of a tight haircut) is temporary. A sharp change in habitual fixation is always painfully tolerated by the hair follicles. In this case, be patient, do a light restorative massage and think about something good.
