Sore Head Remedies

[ginabuglol]

I experincing a really sore or tender head for the past 3 days. I do not why. I have been wearing my hair down for the past 2 weeks. When I decided to maybe wear buns because it might be because of wrapping my hair. It just makes it worse.


What are some of the things you guys did for use for a sore/tender head

I also get a sore scalp from wearing a wrap when my hair is straightened....i would just recommend mixing some kind of peppermint oil into your favorite carrier oil and lightly apply it and massage it into those sore areas.

Instant gratification!

ETA: Also...change the position of the way you wrap every nite. Wrap it to the left one nite, then switch to the right the next nite and so forth. Or just get a silk pillowcase and sleep with your hair tossed above you...that works great as well

HTH!

A Peppermint or something soothing. Or a nice soothing oil.

I was also going to suggest adding peppermint and lavender essential oils to a light carrier oil, and gently massage your scalp. Have you tried pin curling instead of wrapping at night?

Hmm...no sure if it's the same, but I get this in a very localized area. I find it happens when I'm going through a growth spurt. The only thing that helps is to find the one singular hair and pull it out. It hurts when you touch the place like a hot needle, but once I pull it out the soreness disappears. That hair will have a defective looking z shaped base or really really curly in a distorted way like it couldn't grow out shaped like that.

I've been getting these all my life and my kids get them too, even the boys. I suspect something goes wrong during the growth spurt and more than one hair is trying to come out. Sometimes when I pull these out it is more than one hair all tangled together.
