Your hairstyle could be causing headaches. It’s a myth that beauty must involve pain. That is simply not true. There are many ways to rock an updo without getting a tension or migraine headache.

The slick-back is a popular style, but it can be hard on your scalp. It may even affect your comfort. Try adding volume to your ponytail, bun or hairstyle in a different way. A properly placed claw clip can give you style and height without pulling at your scalp. Consider strategically using bobby-pins to keep your hair neat and tidy, without adding unnecessary tension.

It’s important that you give your head a rest when you return home if your favorite style is slick backs. Relax your scalp with a firm massage. Then, let your hair fall naturally. You can still pull it tight if you want to keep it away from your face. Try tying the hair back loosely instead. Even a low-key ponytail looks chic and is more comfortable.

A loose bun tied with a soft scrunchie or silky scrunchie is a great alternative for tight hairstyles. Also, loose braids are very versatile and work well. Although these styles may not stay in place perfectly all day, a little messiness can look more artfully deliberate than untidy. This more relaxed style is just as fashionable and better for your hair.

Braids are an excellent protective hairstyle. They keep your hair away from your face, without having to pull it tight to maintain its shape. These styles are perfect for both sleep and daywear, since they minimize the strain on the head while looking elegant and neat. Hairstyles that are comfortable will make you look elegant and stylish, while also reducing the chance of headaches due to tension.
