My head is killing me today - and at the moment it's mostly at the scalp level, but I can't figure out what I did.
I felt fine when I got up this morning, and put my hair in a ballerina bun with an elastic and spin pins.
About 1-1.5 hours later I had a headache (behind the eyes) but that was after a stressful meeting and lots of brain work, so I thought it was thinking too hard related.
Another hour after that my scalp is really hurting like my hair has been pulled hard. I checked my bun and it was not tight at all, and the spin pins were not putting pressure on my head, but redid it a little bit looser anyway.
The pain didn't stop, and now the scalp pain is much worse than the regular head ache. I just switched to a low loose pony to try and relieve pressure, but so far it is not helping. Massaging my head helps, but only while I'm doing it, as soon as I stop it comes back, and I can't be rubbing my head all day long.
I'm going to take some ibuprofen on my lunch break in a bit. Any ideas on what caused this? What else I can do to help my head? I'm worried there's something I don't know about that could be damaging my hair.
