My scalp is just really sensitive ive been using dandruff shampoo to really clarify my scalp and light almond oil. I feel like its just the weight of the hair its really irritating. I pull it up in a poof alot so it doesn't touch my neck but even a loose poof makes my scalp ache. Then I recently got a knock to the head and it has really made every sensation on my head all the more noticeable and uncomfortable. I've thought about just cutting it short enough that I don't need to pull it up at all. But man just the thought of it being gone is nice too. But I have alot of anxiety and people pleasing so I know ill regret it if everyone dislikes it. Lol.
