Sore Head

Posted , 6 users are following.

I hope some of you ladies can relate to me here. I went for my hair colouring/cutting, etc, today and my head was agony. I've not banged or knocked it but if I didn't know any better, I'd swear my scalp was covered in bruises. As soon as my hairdresser started dividing my hair, I could have screamed and when she washed it after the colouring, I literally had to grit my teeth.

It doesn't hurt ordinarily, but if you rub it or try to massage, it's painful. I think I've had this before but never felt it this bad, although I think it was the hairdresser having to manipulate my scalp. I can brush it okay. It is bizarre and is worrying me. My scalp has changed such a lot recently. It's itched like mad when the colder weather set in at the end of last year, (I do get this to a degree though, apparently some people's skin acts as a barometer, even before the cold temperatures hit.

Fingers crossed, I've had no headaches..just this strange bruised like feeling. I can't gauge my periods so don't know if it's connected to PMS symptoms or not. Has anyone else had something similar?

    Hi Girls

    I understand about "painful scalp", it's a very strange feeling.  

    If you have a very dry, itchy scalp  (it's worse than dandruff) you could try Cocois, it's a compound with coconut oil and coal tar.  Use it once a week an hour before washing your hair, it has a very strong coal tar smell but that goes after shampooing and it's available OTC.

    Hope this helps
