With spring just about here, many people are pulling baseball caps and visors out of the closet and wearing them outside in an effort to shield their faces from the sun. While protecting the skin from the sun’s rays is important, keep in mind that hats or visors that feel tight around the head can also cause headache in some people.  If the hat fits a little too snugly, it may be pressing on some nerves and consequently causing a headache for the wearer.  By simply taking the hat or visor off, most people see their headaches resolve quickly.

Hair extensions, and weaving hairstyles have become popular with many people.  The tubes and clips, as well as tightly woven braiding used in creating these fashion statements can contribute to headache as well.

So, while enjoying your summer hats and styles, be mindful that some of them may bring on head pain.
