Hurty hair?

Does anyone else get this? Usually when it needs washing. But if I part my hair in a different way it's a weird mix of pain and pleasure.

Am I odd or is this a thing?

Only if I am sickening for something! Thought it was just me ...

TeddyBeans · 10/10/2021 20:28

My hair hurts if I put it up too tight or wear it up for too long. It's definitely a thing

Chihuahuacat · 10/10/2021 20:28

Yes! Mine is normally if I’ve had it tied up for a while and then take it down - it hurts to move it

Yep, it's a weird sensation.

Obsidiansphere · 10/10/2021 20:29

Yes…especially if it’s been up in a bun for a long time, and if I part it a different way.

SisterAgatha · 10/10/2021 20:30

Yeah its like I can feel every strand and even the wind blowing on it hurts!

TopCatsTopHat · 10/10/2021 20:30

Yes, I get that. I went thru a phase of styling my hair in more various ways and the sensation much reduced /went away. Currently have it parted in the same place each day and it's back when I change the hair into a direction it isn't used to. Must be a scalp thing.

Luckyelephant1 · 10/10/2021 20:30

Yes! Or if I've slept on it slightly damp and it goes all kinky at the crown and the parting goes weird. It sort of hurts to touch. It's why I hate washing my hair at night.

DizzySquirrel90 · 10/10/2021 20:31

Yessss mine does it even if I just wear it up in a pony tail too long 😩 taking it down is relief but pain!

I get it when I'm not well

gaggiagirl · 10/10/2021 20:34

Mine hurts when it needs a wash and when it's released from its ponytail.

FatJan · 10/10/2021 20:35

Pain yes, pleasure no

Nowthereistwo · 10/10/2021 20:36

I know exactly what you mean. I sort of push my hair forward and it feels like every hair follical is moving- weird pleasure/pain

QuestionEverythingBaby · 10/10/2021 20:38

Yes I get the pain but not the pleasure Confused

LadyLothbrook · 10/10/2021 20:38

Yea get this all the time. Like bruised hair/scalp feeling. Such a relief taking a ponytail out but it fucking hurts, and yeah I do get abit of pleasure out of it to be fair. Just like shooty bum.

userxx · 10/10/2021 20:40

There is no pleasure in shooty bum. None.

NigellaSeed · 10/10/2021 20:41

Omigosh, yes hurty hair!!

NigellaSeed · 10/10/2021 20:42

What is shooty bum? I think I know....but you first Grin

Cantstopthewaves · 10/10/2021 20:45

Yes, a weird pleasure/pain thing!

LadyLothbrook · 10/10/2021 20:46

@Nigellaseed it's the random shooting pain you get up your anus every now and again Grin

purplesequins · 10/10/2021 20:46

yes, usually if I try something different with my hair, like ponytail in a different position.

FelicityBeedle · 10/10/2021 20:48

It’s so bizarre, sometimes it can be up for days and fine, sometimes you get it after having your hair up half an hour. Or even changing my parting! It’s a nuisance

hayley013 · 10/10/2021 20:49

Hairache...it's the worst

BertieBotts · 10/10/2021 20:49

Definitely, it's like my scalp feels slightly swollen and irritated? Happens more when I need to wash my hair.

No pleasure.
