I'm sure this has been talked about before and I don't really think there are any solutions to it; I think it's just a matter of scalp and hair type and personal preference but...
It seems like almost every hairdo I try hurts my head! I think it's a weight issue, my hair is almost to waist although rather thin in my opinion and the individual hairs are sort of medium-fine. So it's just hard to distribute the weight well without all of it ending up balanced on a few individual hairs.
Oddly the thing I have found that hurts most is a plain simple pony. No matter how I make it, where I put it or how many elastics I use to hold it up, inevitably all the weight will end up on just some of the hair and I feel like I'm giving myself a facelift! :lol: Not to mention the pulling hairs. Loose ones pull a teeny bit less but they just slide right out and I have to keep adjusting my hair all day long which just isn't practical for me.
Anything that involves using clips or bobby pins to hold up the hair (like buns) is somewhat more tolerable but still tugs a lot. It makes me sad because there's so many pretty hairstyles, buns and updos and different kinds of ponies I'd love to include in my repertoire but I simply can't wear them longer than a few minutes or my head starts to hurt from all the hair pulling.
Oddly the one thing that is super duper wear all day comfortable is a plain old English braid, even if I gather it really high and it has a little swing to it, doesn't bother my head at all. So right now I'm stuck with braids and the occasional bun (cinnabun or just bun the braid I've already got) and it feels so boring, but every time I try to branch out it's like oops, no, my hair can't handle that. Argh!
