Many women are familiar with the discomfort in the area of the roots of the hair, which is accompanied by the sensation that the scalp is hurting. The development of this state can affect a number of factors, and today we will talk about them in detail.
Pain due to hairstyle
Owners of thick, long, and therefore heavy hair, often notice that the scalp hurts on the vertex - discomfort, as a rule, is caused by an uncomfortable hairdress using hairpins or a tightly tight tail. If you dissolve the hair, you can see that the intensity of scalp pain gradually decreases.
To protect yourself from such a problem, it is worthwhile to find an alternative to uncomfortable hairstyles. For example, all kinds of French braids on long hair look very nice, though it's not always possible to braid them correctly from the first try. At night, ladies with a thick head of hair should spread their hair, letting the scalp rest.
Pain due to allergies
A new shampoo, balm, lacquer or foam can "not like" your skin, and then the body will trigger an allergic reaction. In this case, as a rule, the scalp blushes, it hurts and itches.
To get rid of the unpleasant sensations caused by the new cosmetic means, it is possible with the help of therapeutic masks and rinses with decoctions of herbs (chamomile, sage , mint, nettle). Procedures should be supplemented with a massage using finger pads or a soft comb.
Of course, an unsuitable shampoo or other irritant should be replaced. If even after that the scalp hurts, and hair falls out, it is necessary to seem to the dermatologist or trihologu as similar symptomatology is characteristic and for a number of skin diseases - seborrhea, for example.
Pain due to vasospasms
The reasons for which the scalp hurts, can hide in the violation of blood circulation around the roots of the hair. This leads to spasms of blood vessels, which in turn are provoked:
- temperature drop (sharp cooling of the scalp when rinsing with ice water or leaving to frost without a headdress);
- vegetative vascular dystonia ;
- neurological diseases;
- stress.
If you do not have problems with the vascular system, you wear a hat and wash your hair with warm water, then most likely, wondering why the scalp hurts, it is necessary to eliminate stress, which is not necessarily associated with a severe shock - it can be caused by banal fatigue and irritation, which is accumulated little by little every day.
If you are not stressed, and the scalp still hurts, you need to consult a neurologist, especially if sometimes you feel numbness in your fingers or limbs.
