A member asked:
Could extremely heavy or long hair be a cause of neck pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Long hair: More often than not long hair by itself will not cause neck pain. It is usually due to poor positioning or degenerative changes. We must include trauma and neck strain in there. The long hair (weight) might aggravate another problem.
