A member asked:
Why does my hair scalp hurt, especially after putting my hair in a pony tail then letting go of my hair afterwards? it hurts the roots too.

Scalp hurts: If you pull your hair tight to put it in a pony tail or if you have thick heavy hair it can actually pull on the scalp and cause pain. My guess would be that this is what is happening.
