We Have A Love-Hate Relationship With These Trending But Painful Hairstyles. Oh, What A Headache!

I personally believe that fashion and beauty come at the cost of pain and that’s a price you have to be willing to pay if you want to indulge yourself. After all, someone did say that ‘beauty is pain’. Over the years, we’ve witnessed this as well. From tight corsets to high heels to heavy crowns and painful hairstyles, looking beautiful can be truly painful. But in the past few years, people have simply stopped addressing this issue. We hardly hear anyone complain about their tight dress or underboob sweat or even ankle pain courtesy of high heels!

This season we’ve seen several celebs going with sleek middle-parted buns or tight ponytails. While this has become a go-to hairstyle of celebs like Deepika Padukone, Sonam Kapoor Ahuja, Alia Bhatt, Anushka Sharma, Ananya Panday, Tara Sutaria, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Shanaya Kapoor and many more.

While they’ve surely rocked these updos, just looking at them has given us a blasting headache! We’ve all tried wearing short dresses in winter and gone through the pain of fashion but have you ever had a ponytail or bun headache? Yes, it is a real thing! But we haven’t heard our fave celebs complaining about it, have we, now?

However, star kid Shanaya Kapoor recently shared a little something about the pain of beauty. She posted a picture in the hairstyle with a caption that read, “Not gonna lie my head was hurting but oh well #snatched.”

TBH, it’s not just celebs who put themselves through this pain but also regular people like you and me who do it for the sake of fashion and beauty just to keep up with a trend! But why on Earth do we even follow such hairstyle trends? Well, here’s the truth. The sleek bun and ponytail are in fad RN because it’s effortless and as easy as it can get. It’s the one style you can stick to when you’re too lazy to wash your hair or if you’ve oiled your hair and even if you’re having a bad hair day.

If you’re thinking that bun or ponytail headache is the only thing that comes out of these tight hairstyles, you couldn’t be more wrong. When you tie your hair in a sleek bun or ponytail, it requires you to pull your locks tightly from the roots which can trigger a sensation of tightness in your nerves leading to a headache. At the same time, it can also strain your hair follicles causing them to pull out which is even more painful.

While we all love such easy and effortless hairstyles, it’s not something we should be doing every day for the sake of our head and hair health!
