Can thick heavy hair cause headaches? By Diane Shawe

Yes, very thick hair can sometimes contribute to headaches, especially if it’s pulled tightly or if heavy hairstyles are worn frequently. The tension on the scalp from the weight or tightness can lead to discomfort or headaches.

What can you do? Here are some additional details and tips:

1. Loose Hairstyles: Opt for hairstyles that don’t pull your hair too tightly, such as loose braids, ponytails, or buns. This reduces the tension on your scalp and minimises the risk of headaches.

2. Avoid Heavy Accessories: Avoid using heavy hair accessories like large clips, heavy hairpins, or bulky headbands, as they can add extra weight and strain to your scalp.

3. Use Soft Hair Ties: Choose soft, fabric-covered hair ties or scrunchies instead of tight elastic bands, as they are gentler on your hair and scalp.

4. Regular Scalp Massage: Massaging your scalp regularly can help relax the muscles and relieve tension. You can use your fingers or a scalp massager to gently massage your scalp in circular motions.

5. Conditioning Treatments: Deep conditioning treatments can help keep your hair soft and manageable, reducing the need for tight hairstyles to control frizz or flyaways.

6. Trimming: Regular hair trims can help reduce the weight of your hair and prevent it from pulling on your scalp.

7. Consult a Hairstylist: If you frequently experience headaches due to your thick hair, consider consulting a hairstylist who specializes in thick or heavy hair. They can recommend hairstyles and products that are suitable for your hair type and scalp health.

By following these tips and making some adjustments to your hair care routine, you can help alleviate the tension on your scalp and reduce the likelihood of headaches caused by thick hair.

What about thinning out your hair?

Thinning out thick hair can potentially help reduce the weight and tension on the scalp, which may alleviate headaches caused by the hair’s thickness. Thinning out hair involves removing some of the bulk from the hair shafts to make them lighter and more manageable. Here are some considerations regarding thinning out hair and its potential long-term impacts:

1. Reduced Tension: Thinning out thick hair can reduce the strain and tension on the scalp, which may help alleviate headaches and discomfort associated with tight or heavy hairstyles.

2. Improved Styling: Thinning out hair can make it easier to style and manage, as it reduces bulk and makes the hair more flexible.

3. Long-Term Impact: Thinning out hair is generally safe when done by a skilled hairstylist using proper techniques and tools. However, excessive thinning or improper thinning methods can potentially damage the hair follicles and lead to long-term issues such as hair breakage, thinning, or scalp irritation.

4. Regrowth: Thinning out hair does not typically result in permanent hair loss, as the hair follicles remain intact. However, if the thinning process is overly aggressive or if there is underlying damage to the hair follicles, it may affect the regrowth of new hair.

5. Maintenance: Thinning out hair may require regular maintenance to maintain the desired thickness and style. This may involve periodic touch-ups by a hairstylist to trim or thin out regrowth and maintain the desired look.

6. Consultation: Before thinning out your hair, it’s advisable to consult with a professional hairstylist who can assess your hair type, thickness, and desired outcome. They can recommend appropriate thinning techniques and ensure that the process is performed safely to minimize any potential long-term impacts on your hair.

Overall, thinning out thick hair can be a viable option for reducing tension on the scalp and improving manageability, but it’s essential to approach the process with caution and seek guidance from a qualified hairstylist to ensure the best results and minimize any potential risks.


Can Hair Extensions cause headaches

Hair extensions can sometimes cause headaches, particularly if they are installed too tightly or if they are heavy.

Here’s why:

1. Tension on the Scalp: Hair extensions that are installed too tightly can exert excessive pressure on the scalp, leading to discomfort and headaches. This tension can strain the scalp muscles and nerves, causing pain.

2. Weight of the Extensions: Hair extensions, especially those made with heavy materials or attached in large quantities, can add extra weight to your natural hair. The additional weight can pull on your scalp and contribute to headaches, particularly if worn for extended periods. Clinics if worn very long can add up to 150g-200g of hair.

3. Improper Installation: If hair extensions are not installed correctly or if the attachment method is not suitable for your hair type, it can lead to discomfort and headaches. For example, extensions that are sewn or glued too close to the scalp can cause irritation and pain.

4. Sensitivity to Materials: Some individuals may be sensitive or allergic to the materials used in hair extensions, such as metal clips, glue, or synthetic fibers. This sensitivity can manifest as scalp irritation, inflammation, and headaches.

5. Poor Quality Extensions: Low-quality hair extensions that are stiff, rough, or prone to tangling can exacerbate scalp discomfort and headaches. They may also cause pulling and tugging on the hair, leading to pain and irritation.

To prevent headaches caused by hair extensions, it’s essential to choose high-quality extensions and have them installed by a skilled and experienced professional.

Additionally, opt for installation methods that minimise tension on the scalp and avoid wearing extensions for prolonged periods without breaks. If you experience persistent headaches or discomfort with your hair extensions, consider removing them and consulting with a hairstylist or healthcare professional for advice.

If thick hair is not the cause of your headaches,

Then other potential factors to consider, such as:

1. Tension or Stress: Stress and tension are common triggers for headaches. Tightness in the neck, shoulders, and scalp muscles can lead to tension headaches
2. Poor Posture: Poor posture, especially when sitting or standing for long periods, can strain the muscles in the neck and shoulders, leading to tension headaches.
3. Dehydration: Not drinking enough water can lead to dehydration, which can trigger headaches.
4. Eye Strain: Prolonged use of electronic devices or reading in poor lighting can strain the eyes and lead to tension headaches or eye strain headaches.
5. Caffeine Withdrawal: If you regularly consume caffeine and suddenly decrease your intake, you may experience withdrawal symptoms, including headaches.
6. Sleep Issues: Poor sleep quality or not getting enough sleep can contribute to headaches.
7. Dietary Factors: Certain foods and beverages, such as alcohol, processed foods, or those containing artificial additives, can trigger headaches in some people.
8. Sinus Issues: Sinus congestion or inflammation can cause sinus headaches, which may be mistaken for tension headaches.
9. Weather Changes: Changes in weather or barometric pressure can trigger headaches in some individuals.
10. Medical Conditions: Underlying medical conditions such as migraines, sinus infections, or temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder can also cause headaches.

 

If you experience frequent or severe headaches, it’s essential to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the underlying cause and develop an appropriate treatment plan. They can help diagnose any potential medical conditions and provide guidance on managing and preventing headaches effectively.

From Installation to Maintenance: Mastering the Secrets of Stunning Hair Extensions” by Diane Shawe

Educational Content on Hair Extensions by Diane Shawe:

Hair extensions are a fantastic way to achieve length, volume, and versatility in your hairstyle, but they require proper installation, care and maintenance to ensure optimal results. Here are some key points to consider:

Mistakes:
1. Improper Installation: One of the most common mistakes is having extensions improperly installed, leading to discomfort, damage to natural hair, and a less-than-desirable appearance.
2. Neglecting Maintenance: Failing to follow proper maintenance routines, such as regular brushing, washing with sulfate-free shampoo, and avoiding excessive heat styling, can lead to tangling, matting, and premature shedding of the extensions.
3. Choosing the Wrong Type of Extensions: Selecting extensions that are not suitable for your hair type or lifestyle can result in discomfort, poor blending with natural hair, and difficulty styling.

Fears:
1. Damaging Natural Hair: Many individuals fear that hair extensions will damage their natural hair, either through excessive tension during installation, adhesive damage, or improper removal techniques.
2. Discomfort: Some people worry that hair extensions will be uncomfortable to wear, especially if they are heavy or if the installation method causes scalp irritation.
3. Visible Extensions: Another common fear is that the extensions will be noticeable or look unnatural, leading to self-consciousness and a lack of confidence in one’s appearance.


Desires and Results:
1. Length and Volume Enhancement: The primary desire when getting hair extensions is usually to achieve longer or fuller hair, enhancing overall appearance and confidence.
2. Seamless Blending: Clients want extensions that seamlessly blend with their natural hair, creating a cohesive and natural-looking hairstyle.
3. Effortless Styling: Ultimately, clients want hair extensions that allow for effortless styling, whether it’s curling, straightening, or simply wearing their hair in various styles without worrying about the extensions showing.

Frustrating Symptoms:
1. Tangling: Tangled extensions can be frustrating to deal with, causing discomfort and making it challenging to maintain the desired hairstyle.
2. Shedding: Experiencing shedding or hair loss with extensions can be alarming and frustrating, as it diminishes the volume and fullness of the hair.
3. Discomfort: Discomfort from wearing extensions, such as tightness, itching, or soreness, can detract from the overall enjoyment of having hair extensions and may even deter individuals from wearing them altogether.

By addressing these common concerns and providing education on proper installation, maintenance, and care techniques, individuals can enjoy the benefits of hair extensions while minimising potential drawbacks. It’s essential to consult with a professional stylist who specializes in hair extensions to ensure a positive experience and long-lasting results.

Micro interlocking braids

Crochet

You’ve probably heard of crochet braids, but how much do you really know about them? First things first, crochet braiding isn’t actually a ‘braiding‘ in the traditional sense, which is where some of the confusion around this style stems from.

Instead, it’s a process through which loose hair extensions are woven into cornrows using a crochet hook, giving the illusion of longer locks. The results are so natural looking that people won’t even suspect that you didn’t grow them yourself!

Other major advantages of crochet braid styles are that they take significantly less time to install compared to box braids (bonus!), and causes less strain on your scalp than sewn-in weaves, since the hair is looped onto existing braids. So, feeling inspired to take plunge? Then check out our favourite looks from Instagram, below!

These are just a few examples, and the world of braiding offers a wide array of styles, often influenced by cultural traditions and personal preferences.

 

Pros and cons of different braiding techniques

• Braids can be styled in a variety of ways, which can give you a lot of versatility:

• Braids can be time-consuming to install and remove.

• Braids can be heavy, which can cause discomfort.

• If braids are done too tightly, they can cause hair breakage.

Which braiding technique is right for you?

The best braiding technique for you will depend on your individual hair type, preferences, and lifestyle. If you have delicate hair, you may want to choose a technique that is less damaging, such as knotless braids or twists. If you are looking for a style that is versatile and easy to maintain, box braids or cornrows may be a good option for you. Ultimately, the best way to decide which braiding technique is right for you is to talk to a hair stylist who can assess your hair and help you choose the best style for your needs.

From Root to Tip: How Zinc Nourishes Hair Follicles for Optimal Growth

Zinc: Your Hair’s Best Friend for Growth and Vitality

While zinc might not always receive as much attention as some other supplements, it can indeed be considered a “super supplement” due to its essential role in maintaining overall health. Its involvement in numerous enzymatic reactions, immune system support, cell growth, and hormone regulation highlights its significance.

Zinc’s impact on various bodily functions makes it a valuable nutrient to ensure optimal well-being. However, it’s important to note that no single supplement can replace a balanced and nutritious diet. Zinc should ideally be obtained through a variety of foods, including meat, seafood, dairy, nuts, seeds, and whole grains.

In recent years, certain supplements and nutrients have gained more prominence in the wellness and health industries, but this doesn’t diminish the importance of zinc. Like many essential nutrients, it’s an integral part of the puzzle when it comes to maintaining good health.

See services supplied by need a hair makeover specialist salon

Always remember that when considering any supplement, it’s best to consult a healthcare professional to ensure that your individual needs are met safely and effectively. Zinc plays a crucial role in regulating more than 300 enzymes in the human body. Because Zinc cannot be stored in the body it needs to be ingested daily either through diet or taking supplements

Understanding Zinc’s Role in Hair

Zinc is an essential mineral that plays a vital role in various biological processes within the human body. Its involvement in regulating over 300 enzymes is crucial for a wide range of functions, such as DNA synthesis, immune system function, protein synthesis, and cell division. These enzymes are involved in catalyzing chemical reactions that are necessary for the proper functioning of cells and tissues.

One reason zinc is essential to obtain through daily intake is that the body has no specialised mechanism for storing it. Unlike some other minerals, zinc isn’t stored in large quantities in the body for future use. This means that a consistent intake of zinc through diet or supplementation is necessary to maintain optimal bodily functions.

Regarding hair growth, zinc contributes to this process in several ways:

Cell Division and Protein Synthesis: Zinc is involved in the division and growth of cells, including hair follicle cells. It aids in the synthesis of proteins, which are the building blocks of hair.

could you claim for a wig or topper



Hormone Regulation: Zinc is necessary for the proper functioning of various hormones, including those related to hair growth. Hormones like testosterone and its derivatives can impact hair health. Zinc helps regulate these hormones, promoting healthy hair growth.

Antioxidant Defense: Zinc acts as an antioxidant, helping to protect cells, including hair follicles, from oxidative stress. This is important because oxidative stress can damage hair follicles and lead to hair thinning or loss.

Keratin Production: Keratin is the primary protein that makes up hair strands. Zinc plays a role in the production of keratin, contributing to strong and healthy hair.

Immune System Support: A well-functioning immune system is essential for maintaining healthy hair follicles. Zinc supports the immune system, which indirectly benefits hair growth by creating a conducive environment for hair follicles to thrive.



While zinc is important for hair growth, it’s important to note that excessive intake can also have adverse effects. Finding the right balance is crucial, as both a deficiency and an excess of zinc can lead to hair problems. It’s recommended to obtain zinc from a balanced diet that includes foods like meat, seafood, nuts, seeds, and whole grains or a carefully compiled supplement. If someone suspects a zinc deficiency, consulting a healthcare professional before starting any supplementation is advisable.

Does hair oils really work in helping hair to grow and how should you use on different hair types

There is some evidence that hair oils can help to promote hair growth. Some of the oils that have been shown to be effective include:

• Rosemary oil

• Black Castor oil

• Argan oil

• Coconut oil

• Jojoba oil

These oils contain nutrients that can help to nourish the scalp and hair follicles, and they may also have anti-inflammatory properties that can help to reduce scalp irritation.

Medical Conditions

However, it is important to note that hair oils will not work for everyone. If you have a medical condition that is causing your hair loss, such as alopecia areata, hair oils will not be effective.

If you are considering using hair oils, it is always a good idea to talk to your doctor or a dermatologist first. They can help you determine which oil is right for you and how to use it safely.

Here are the nutrients and benefits of the hair oils listed above:

Rosemary oil

• Nutrients: Rosemary oil contains antioxidants, such as rosmarinic acid, as well as vitamins A, C, and E.

• Benefits: Rosemary oil has been shown to promote hair growth, reduce hair loss, and prevent dandruff. It may also help to improve the appearance of fine hair.

Castor oil

• Nutrients: Castor oil is high in ricinoleic acid, which is a fatty acid that has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties.

• Benefits: Black Castor oil is a popular oil for hair growth. It can help to stimulate blood flow to the scalp and nourish the hair follicles. Castor oil may also help to reduce hair breakage and split ends.

Argan oil

• Nutrients: Argan oil is rich in fatty acids, vitamin E, and antioxidants.

• Benefits: Argan oil is a moisturizing oil that can help to improve the overall health of your hair. It can help to prevent dryness, frizz, and split ends. Argan oil may also help to protect your hair from damage caused by heat styling and environmental factors.

Coconut oil

• Nutrients: Coconut oil is high in saturated fats, which can help to seal in moisture and protect your hair from damage.

• Benefits: Coconut oil is a versatile oil that can be used for a variety of hair care purposes. It can be used as a leave-in conditioner, a deep-conditioning treatment, or a heat protectant. Coconut oil may also help to reduce hair breakage and split ends.

Jojoba oil

• Nutrients: Jojoba oil is a lightweight oil that is similar to the natural oils produced by your scalp.

• Benefits: Jojoba oil is a moisturizing oil that can help to prevent dryness and dandruff. It may also help to improve the appearance of fine hair. Jojoba oil is also a good oil for people with sensitive scalps.

It is important to note that these are just some of the nutrients and benefits of these oils. The specific benefits of each oil may vary depending on your individual hair type and needs.

Here are some tips on how to use hair oils on different hair types:

• Oily hair: If you have oily hair, you should use a light oil, such as jojoba oil or argan oil. Apply the oil to your scalp and hair, and then massage it in gently. You can also use a leave-in oil on the ends of your hair.

• Dry hair: If you have dry hair, you can use a heavier oil, such as coconut oil or castor oil. Apply the oil to your scalp and hair, and then leave it on for at least 30 minutes before washing it out. You can also use a leave-in oil on the ends of your hair.

• Fine hair: If you have fine hair, you should use a small amount of oil, such as a few drops of rosemary oil. Apply the oil to your scalp and hair, and then massage it in gently. You can also use a leave-in oil on the ends of your hair.

It is important to start with a small amount of oil and see how your hair reacts. If you find that your hair is too oily, you can reduce the amount of oil you use.

You should also use hair oils regularly to see the best results. Aim to use hair oils at least twice a week, or more often if you have dry or damaged hair.

Here are some additional tips on when to use for hair oils:

• Apply the oil to your hair before you go to bed. This will give the oil time to work its magic while you sleep.

• Use a warm washcloth to massage the oil into your scalp. This will help to stimulate blood flow to the scalp, which can help to promote hair growth.

• Avoid using heat styling tools on your hair after applying oil. Heat can damage your hair and make it more difficult for the oil to penetrate the hair shaft.

If you are considering using hair oils to help your hair grow, be sure to talk to your doctor or a dermatologist first. They can help you determine if hair oils are right for you and recommend the best oil for your hair type.

Here are some tips on how to use hair oils on different hair types:

Oily hair: If you have oily hair, you should use a light oil, such as jojoba oil or argan oil. Apply the oil to your scalp and hair, and then massage it in gently. You can also use a leave-in oil on the ends of your hair.

Dry hair: If you have dry hair, you can use a heavier oil, such as coconut oil or castor oil. Apply the oil to your scalp and hair, and then leave it on for at least 30 minutes before washing it out. You can also use a leave-in oil on the ends of your hair.

Fine hair: If you have fine hair, you should use a small amount of oil, such as a few drops of rosemary oil. Apply the oil to your scalp and hair, and then massage it in gently. You can also use a leave-in oil on the ends of your hair.

It is important to start with a small amount of oil and see how your hair reacts. If you find that your hair is too oily, you can reduce the amount of oil you use.

You should also use hair oils regularly to see the best results. Aim to use hair oils at least twice a week, or more often if you have dry or damaged hair.

Best hair oil home or salon treatments

Hot oil treatment: 

This is a classic hair oil treatment that involves applying warm oil to the scalp and hair. The oil is then massaged into the scalp and left on for a period of time, typically 30 minutes. The heat helps to open the hair cuticles, allowing the oil to penetrate the hair shaft. This treatment can help to moisturize, nourish, and protect the hair.

Ayurvedic hair oil treatment: 

This treatment uses a blend of essential oils that are specifically chosen to address your hair’s individual needs. The oils are applied to the scalp and hair and then massaged in. This treatment can help to improve hair growth, reduce hair loss, and relieve scalp conditions such as dandruff.


Keratin hair oil treatment: 

This treatment uses a blend of keratin and essential oils to smooth and protect the hair. The oils are applied to the hair and then blow-dried or flat-ironed. This treatment can help to reduce frizz, add shine, and make the hair more manageable.


Moroccan oil treatment: 

This treatment uses argan oil, which is a highly moisturizing oil that can help to improve the overall health of the hair. The oil is applied to the hair and then massaged in. This treatment can help to hydrate, nourish, and protect the hair.

These are just a few of the many hair oil salon treatments that are available. The best treatment for you will depend on your individual hair type and needs.

It is important to note that hair oil salon treatments can be expensive. However, they can be a great way to improve the health and appearance of your hair. If you are considering a hair oil salon treatment, be sure to do your research and choose a reputable salon.

How does hair oil treatment with infrared benefit the hair condition

Hair oil treatment with infrared therapy can benefit the hair condition in a few ways. The infrared light can help to:

1. Increase blood flow to the scalp. This can help to nourish the hair follicles and promote hair growth.

2. Reduce inflammation. This can help to improve scalp health and reduce the risk of dandruff and other scalp conditions.

3. Increase the absorption of the hair oil. This can help the oil to penetrate the hair shaft and provide more moisture and nourishment.

4. Reduce frizz. This can make hair more manageable and easier to style.

5. Improve shine. This can give hair a healthy, lustrous appearance.

In addition to the benefits of infrared therapy, hair oil treatment can also provide additional benefits, such as:

• Moisturizing the hair. Hair oil can help to seal in moisture and prevent dryness.
• Nourishing the scalp. Hair oil can help to nourish the scalp and keep it healthy.
• Protecting the hair from damage. Hair oil can help to protect the hair from damage caused by heat styling, environmental factors, and other sources.

If you are looking for a way to improve the health of your hair, hair oil treatment with infrared therapy can be a great option.

However, it is important to note that this treatment is not a cure for hair loss or other hair conditions. It is also important to choose a hair oil that is right for your hair type and needs.

How is the hair oil treatment with infrared therapy done

A high-quality hair oil made with natural ingredients is used.

The hair oil is warmed before applying it. This will help the oil to penetrate the hair shaft more easily.

The hair oil is massaged into the scalp and hair. This will help to stimulate blood flow and promote hair growth.

Leave the hair oil on for at least 30 – 40 minutes under the infrared lamp. This will give the oil time to work its magic.

Hair oil is rinsed out thoroughly. This will remove any excess oil and prevent it from weighing down your hair.

If you are considering trying a hair oil treatment with infrared therapy, be sure to talk to your hair stylist first.

They can help you determine if this treatment is right for you and recommend a high-quality hair oil.
