How does one take care of his/her hair with a bad neck injury?

This somewhat : Depends on the type and severity of the injury such as just muscular, a disc herniation versus a spine fracture or spine instability as the problem . If just muscular or do to a disc, avoid those positions that aggravate the pain.

Good neck collar: This can be challenging. If you've had surgery, you'll need to check with your surgeon regarding when you can get your incision wet. If you have to wear a collar, be sure to get a type that has interchangeable pads. This will allow you to shampoo your hair and exchange the wet pads for dry ones. Check with your doctor to see if you are allowed to take the collar off and how to do so safely.
