Hi Eba, I had this problem before as well and boy was I sensitive. What brang me relief was switching shampoo and condtioner and WHAT A DIFFERENCE! I use Alchohol free shampoo- organic actually and free of Sulfites (which is horrible on the scalp) it is enriched with Plant Proteins, Ginseng and Chamomile- to help calm my scalp. Its made by J/A/S/O/N and is called Biotin Shampoo. I think that it might also have a lavendar oil in it that helped me with my Seb . derm which was also ALSO a factor in my sensitivity. So overall I am still sensitive but no half as much! I also make sure to massage my scalp every now and again in an effort to desensitize it and it brings me relief. On weekends I also make sure to clip it in the opposite direction from my usual part- if I have to clip it at all. Hope this helps sweety, and good luck:D

I too have this pain all the time, it's like my head is reminding me that my hair is thin. But I've lost my hair a long time ago, it's been 15 years or more when my hair stopeed thinning, because it could not thin anymore. But the pain is still there, when I brush my hair or when I try to change the part. Also I had to switch to full wigs instead of hair pieces for years now, because I cannot attach anything to my head. I thought I was doing something wrong, I'm surprised to know that others have felt this too. Although I am really sorry guys that anyone feels that pain, sometimes it drives me mad.

I'm sorry to hear that other people have pain, but feel a sense of vaildation that I'm not the only one. There doesn't seem to be much acknowledgement of the burning sensation, the feeling that someone is sticking a pin in spots on top of your head or pain with brushing or trying to change the part. I have felt all of those things! And have been disbelieved!

I haven't tried Nioxin...but I have heard great things about it. It is on my Amazon wish list....but it's kind of expensive, so I haven't gotten any yet. For right now, I use Fat Hair shampoo that I get from Target. It is still a little expensive, but not quite as expensive as Nioxin. :o)

I take a bunch of vitamins too. They say Biotin is good for hair growth. But I imagine that prenatal you are taking covers everything. :o)

I'm really weird about the things I do to my hair because I am afraid I cause more to fall out..but I guess now I don't have to worry so much. I'll have to look around at target for soft ones, I do love them (:

I'm going to look up that shampoo, too..have you ever tried Nioxin? I had the supplements once, but they were basically a multivitamin and they were 20 bucks..so I switched to prenatal vitamins..they seem to make my hair grow faster, but not thicker..

Angela, When I went to the dr. she said that nothing I do or don't do is going to cause more hair loss. Like many people think washing their hair etc...will cause more hair to fall out...but in reality, if the hair is going to come out, it will.... So, if you enjoy wearing headbands, I'm sure it's fine to. I love headbands because it hides more of the top of my head. :o) But if they are hurting you, maybe you can get soft ones. I bought a bunch of soft ones at Target this summer. Hope this helps...I'm sorry you are in pain. :o( I do remember that some people have found relief from a certain shampoo.....maybe your doc would know which one it is...I want to say it was Nizoral....but I'm not sure if that is right or not.

The pain is so irritating because it is a constant reminder that my hair is falling out. I like wearing headbands, but I am afraid because I feel like I'm causing more hair to fall out because of the pain. I wonder if there is anything a doctor can do for it. My hair texture has also changed a lot..it's getting increasingly more and more coarse and dry. I'm really self conscious about it.

I had the same pain this summer, and it just started again. It feels like someone is pulling my hair out, and if I try to part it different, it hurts even more. I was walking round with a bag of frozen peas on my head a lot this summer. I thought I was the only one, it seemed that scalp pain was associated more with other types of alopecia. So I was very confused. It seems to correspond to more hair loss with me too.

Hi Angela,

I also experience that same pain. It is like when my hair is shedding it feels more like it is being plucked out...or sort of like when your hair has been in a ponytail too long and then you let it down, and it hurts. I have no idea what it is either.... I have never tried this, but someone once told me to take Benadryl for it.... :o) I'm with Marie....I sympathize too. :o(
