A member asked:
Whole head is sore after a hair tried in a ponytail, should i consider this is a serious concern?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Try either removing the pony tail or loosening it. Many patients complain of scalp pain if there is too much tension placed on the scalp by tight braiding or hair-tying.
