Ok I have to work with hair in a ponytail and I usualy wear a ponytail anyways. Recently when I let it down it feels unnatural and I hve physical pain. It's like my hair hurts! It is on the crown of my hard slightly to the left of where I'd put a ponytail. An when I let it down, it looks like a cowlick. Does anyone else have this, normal?

How do you fix it??

    You could try wetting your hair brush a little bit, and then brushing it down. Or do what littlemissunderstood said. And it's really common for this to happen when you wear it up for long period's of time.

    It's kind of funny, b/c I'm the complete opposite. I hate that I have to wear my hair up at work. It feel's so much more comfortable with it down. But what you're saying has happened to me before too.

    I have really thick hair and I get that when I leave my hair in a ponytail or braid or anything for a really long time (especially if I sleep on it), it goes away after a while, to speed the process you could shower to soften up the follicles.

    If you have long thick hair, that's why. If you have damaged or color treated hair, that can also be why.

    It's normal it is just that your hair is used to bein up so it wants to go back up so it forms in that way and pulls it up.so normal. When I go to dance comps I have my hair in a bun all day and when I take it down it really hurts but gotta get used to it

    It's normal. There's not a lot you can do about it. Maybe try to tie your ponytail lower in a more natural position.

    Normal. Always take you hair down from the ponytail as soon as you can.
