What Causes Headache When Scalp Is Dry?
Hi,
I have to wash and Oil my hair everyday, and I do this not because of pollution problem or dirty hair, I do it not to get a headache (usually on the left side of the brain). This I have noted since about 5 years, and it's hard to go without oil.
Is this because of the Oil (Navaratna Oil) that I use? Or is it a general problem that I should be getting treatment for? Application of OIL after a head bath solves everything!

Dear user,
Thank you for your question, your observation is very precise and would like to thank you for that. Yes sometimes once the water dries of your scalp skin you feel a headache, oiling is one option of keeping your scalp from drying. As long as the pain goes once you oil the scalp then keep on doing it. hope that was helpful if so please rate as 5.
best regards,
Dr. Nazzal
