The company doesn't make any medical claims about this product, but they do say to use it as directed. So Bad things will probably happen to you if you don't follow the instructions.

Hi I use it often, the migrane and regular headache. I use from temple to temple. so I start at one temple, run up along hairline and down to the other temple. some days, I may go into hairline a bit, some days into forehead a bit. truth to, it works better some days than others. You wont get any better results if you use the entire tube all at one application.
You can do it everyday, every hour, half, depends. It also depends on the type of headache and cause. It helped me for some of my migranes, but not all of the time. some of my tension headaches. Not sinus headaches very well. experement with placment time you use it. try before the HA hits. even behind ears. That can be cluster or tension headaches. Ive been using this product about 7 months, so I warn you, it is hit and miss.
Good Luck
Chris
PS: if they dont go away, see a dr. I hope you are a college student, have insurance, or have medicare, so you have somekind of insurance. Headaches are the worst of the worst. I know, I have Lupus and live in pain daily, the HA are worse than the arthritis, muscle or any other pain
The other answers where not cool

This is hilarious, especially the quote at the end!!
(CBS) Odds are you've seen the TV commercial that repeats the phrase, " 'Head On,' apply directly to the forehead" over and over.
It touts the benefits of an over-the-counter product.
The ads used to say rubbing it on your forehead would relieve headaches, but then the Better Business Bureau announced that, "The company failed to provide any reliable clinical testing to support its claims."
The commercials no longer claim Head On works, but they've become something of a pop phenomenon.
On The Early Show Wednesday, Dr. Dara Jamieson, director of the Headache Center of New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center, told Russ Mitchell, "The only thing distinctive about this product is its commercial. There's nothing in the ingredients that would treat headaches. The concentration of the ingredients is so minute that you wouldn't think it would treat headaches."
Still, Mitchell pointed out, some people claim Head On works for them.
"If you believe a headache product works, you may get some benefit from it," Jamieson explained. "There's a large placebo response to headache treatment. That's what you may see with this product. People may say they feel a sensation when they rub it on their forehead, but that would be a sensation that wouldn't have any mechanismistic effect on the headache itself."
But Jamieson says she wouldn't go so far as to call Head On dangerous: "There's no danger except the economic danger of taking money that could be used for, say, the co-pay to see your doctor to talk about your headaches, and figure out why you have headaches and what would be the best treatment for you.
"Some people say they get tingling, or a sense of coldness when you put it over your forehead. You'd be better off wrapping a towel around a bag of frozen vegetables, putting that on your forehead and then sensing tingling."

I would expect that you'll have quite a head-start. Here are more questions.
What's that in the road ahead?
What's that in the road? A head?
What's that? In the road ahead!
Do you know how they knew that the naked woman in Jaws who got eaten by the shark had dandruff? Because they found her Head and Shoulders on the beach.
A carrot and some lettuce were racing. The lettuce won by a head.
I'm getting a headache.

Not much other than a very greasy, minty forehead.
