Does long hair give you headaches?

Question

I have long hair and have extremely bad headaches all the time.

Answer 1

The two things are not related.
Hair is part of your skin, not part of your brain.
Headaches are caused by swelling in the brain.
Any relationship between headaches and length of hair would have to be psychosomatic.

Answer 2

Possible no & possible yes. You see when you get a small headache you can handle it but because you have long hair it can make your head sweat because theres so much of it. Thats why some peoples hair gets so greasy. But If you have lots of long hair it makes your head heated which then heats the first layer of your brain causing harder headaches. Dont worry. really bad headaches normally wear off after 20 minds or maybe an hour. Good luck

Answer 3

No its not a myth. I have seriously thick hair. When I was five my hair was past my butt and I was having serious migraine headaches. They tested me left and right and nothing came up as to why I would be having these headaches. Finally my mom wondered if it was b/c of my hair. (She is a hairdresser-with years of experience and she says-and my current stylist also confirms that my hair is equal to 5 heads of normal hair.-Anyway_ We cut my hair and the headaches went away. Then again in highschool I let my hair get that long again...once again I cut it and the headaches were gone. Yes Long Thick hair can cause headaches

Answer 6

My daughter had very long, very thick hair...and had frequent headaches. The doctor was holding up her hair examining the back of her neck and said, well no wonder, this weighs a ton! She had some of (well, a lot of) the length cut off and her headaches stopped. So yes, it CAN give you a headache!

Answer 7

Your headaches might have to do with the weight of your hair. I had really long hair as a kid, and I used to cry from the pain of the weight. It could also be that you're getting headaches from something else.

Answer 8

Hair that is very long can actually become surprisingly heavy, and weigh down on your neck. This tension can radiate upward into a tension headache. Also, if you have to use a lot of pins and bands to keep it up, you can be creating little pressure points around your scalp that can cause headaches.

Answer 9

Long hair would only give you headaches if someone pulled it! Get to the doctor's for a proper diagnosis - and get your hair cut. It's so VERY unfashionable AND poncy

Answer 10

I dont think your long hair is the problem. If youre getting constant headaches you might have migranes but you should go and see your doctor and get checked out.
