ive been growing my hair and tying a dastar for a couple of months now (used to just do a ponytail), but whenever i tie a dastar i see that after an hour or so the roots of my hair start hurting and i mean A LOT like its really painful. even when i take it out and then brush my hair it really really hurts to the point my eyes start watering. i have started tying a loose flatter joora because i was told that maybe it was because my joora was too tight but to no avail.

i dont want to stop tying a dastar at all but its so painful!

anyone have any suggestions/remedies/been through the same thing??

thanks in advance

Veerjee it's actually quite normal. When I first started tying dastaar I used to get the same problem because I was used to coming my hair back. But once I started tying dastaar and started combing my kes the opposite direction it would hurt my roots like crazy! I would suggest to not go back and forth with combing your kes either to the back or front. Just comb your kes one direction and do lots of hear massage with oils..it seems to work. Again don't worry it's normal and in some time you wont feel anything. Hope it helps...

Do maalash of your hair and let the oil soak into your scalp and slowly your roots will get used to it.

When you comb your hair, pull it forward, hard. Going back and forth creates this problem. You need to straighten out the roots, because right now they are pointing backwards but your hair is going forwards. Pulling the hair forward should fix this easily

what type of dastaar do you wear? also what singh559 said, do malash of your hair with tel (desi tel or almonds), do this a day before you wash your hair (so friday night wash saturday morning). you'll eventually get used to it.

happens same to me .. My dastar pulls on the hair in front of my head and this has caused swelling there ...

Use oil

maybe you need to do keshi ishnaan?

Tie your jooda looser. When I first started, I was experiencing a lot of pain. Then I played around with the tightness of the jooda, and the looser the jooda, the less pain.

or your dastar is way to tight. if you are tying the peaked style, the folds that make the peak are creating pressure and causing pain
