Does your hair hurt? And yet you are not the only one!
Read on and I’ll explain exactly what the two possible explanations are for the pain in your hair roots.
The pain you feel is there and it is there to indicate that something is happening or you are doing something wrong.
Don’t despair and don’t be surprised.
I’ve said it so many times but repetition is the mother of all learning.
Let’s say it one more time!
Your hair is GORGEOUS! And don’t give them a hard time.
See why:
Case no.1:
The first possible case is pain from a very tight ponytail.
Why is this happening?
It happens because the skin has nerve endings connected to each hair follicle (inside the skin).
The nerve endings in simple terms are accustomed to a certain “posture-position” of the hair.
So when you hold a very tight ponytail for a long time, there is intense pressure on the nerve endings.
This process-habit inevitably causes pain in the hair roots.
So if you have a daily habit of holding your hair in a certain way and very tightly, think again.
In addition to the pain you cause, over the years you are at risk of developing “ulcerative alopecia”.
That is, hair loss due to the tension it exerts on the hair roots.
Attractive alopecia is irreversible, you know.
What do you think? Are you gonna get them that tight again?
Case no2 :
In case number 2 things are more complicated.
There is a possibility that your roots may hurt without having applied any technical pressure on them.
Why is this happening?
It happens because you probably overdid it by not washing or not cleaning your scalp properly.
What do I mean?
I mean you have to have a proper washing routine and not overdo it.
Clearly we don’t go from one extreme to the other, but bathing every 15 doesn’t help either.
Why?
Because the skin on your scalp is a microclimate in itself.
Especially inside it is often more humid and naturally shady.
This means that with the moisture and heat it already emits, it produces many microorganisms.
The microorganisms in turn in cooperation with all external factors such as dust, product residues,
pollen etc. create a cocktail that favours the growth of fungi.
This whole cocktail is developed at the roots of your hair, very close to the hair follicle.
The follicles in turn are hypersensitive due to the nerve endings that affect them,
so with every movement of your hair you feel the pain.
If none of the above applies to you, there are probably other conditions,
which should be treated by a dermatologist.

I have certainly helped you and solved this question!
I hope that from now on you will change or at least correct some of your habits,
which caused discomfort, damage and pain to your hair.
