I'm 20 and for a few times i head banged hard to music .i mostly shake my head slowly.i put it away now.is it possible for permanent brain damage ?

No...: "Head Banging" or shaking your head to loud rock music is not going to cause brain damage. You brain is very protected in your skull - avoid "head banging" your head into hard surfaces (which would likely only break your skin) and you should be fine. Enjoy your music, have fun, and protect your hearing by avoiding excessively loud music.
