Why do i get sore spots on my head when i have had my hair in a ponytail? my elastic band is lose and isn't always the same spot. they come and go
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tension : The hair is being pulled back by the hairstyle causing low grade constant tension. This can lead to pain from the hair being pulled or from the muscles of the scalp spasming in response to the irritation.
