JAKARTA - Who doesn't know Ariana Grande's iconic, stylish, hairstyle. Looked stylish and practical, this hairstyle is a favorite of many people. But who would have thought, behind his stylish appearance, high horses can actually keep hidden dangers for the health of your body, especially the neck.

According to bone experts and chiropractors, this popular hairstyle is often a quick and easy choice without many hair styling skills. Unfortunately, this could be the culprit behind strained headaches, neck pain, and even poor posture.

"Although tight hairstyle arrangement may look like a small habit, its cumulative effect on spinal health, muscle balance, and nerve function can be very significant," explainedctional McAlister, president of the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress, as reported by Huffpost's website.

The bone experts explain that this seemingly harmless hairstyle has the potential to damage the neck. Fortunately, there is a way to minimize damage without having to really stop locking hair with that style.

Basically, the horseshoe itself is not bad for the neck. However, problems arise when the horseshoe is made high and very tight, especially if it is often locked.

Just imagine, our heads weigh about 4.5 to 5.5 kilograms. Even small changes in the head position alone can drastically increase the burden on the neck and spine muscles. This high, tight horseshoe pull the skin of the head and hair up.

"This creates tensions in the fasia (bond network) in the scalp," said Liza Egbogah, a bone expert and osteopatist.

"This facility is directly connected to the muscles of the neck and upper back, and can become fast and tense due to tensions in the facility," he continued.

Not only that, but high and tight horseshoes can also affect the posture and uniformity of the neck bone. In order to reduce tensions in the scalp due to the pull of the horse lock, you may unknowingly change your head and advance it.

"This forward headset suppresses the neck bone and, over time, can cause stiff necks, pain in the upper and middle backs, tense headaches, shoulders bowing forwards, and bowing upper backs," he explained.

It should be noted, if you often lock your horse high and tight, this can create chronic tensions in the muscles of the skin on the head and neck. This can trigger chronic tense headaches.

" Bone experts often see patients with seemingly unrelated symptoms (such as mild headaches) which turns out to be cumulative strains such as hair pulled too fast," McAllister said.

In addition, tight and high horseshoes can also affect nerves in the skin of the head and neck, especially if this hairstyle puts excessive stress in the long term.

"Strict hairstyles can cause muscles at the base of the skull and the upper neck to tighten and press the nerves that pass through them, which can cause sneezing in the neck or to the upper shoulder," said Egbogah.

Not only about the neck and spine, but horseshoes are high and tight and can also affect the jaw.

"Because the fate of the scalp is connected to the jaw, this hairstyle can also cause the jaw muscle to tighten, which leads to jaw pain and the problem of the temporomandibar (TMJ) joints," said Egbogah.

This happens because hair pulled too hard can press the temple area, where some of the muscles involved in the jaw movement are located. As a result, important muscles in this area that are responsible for chewing and jaw function can become tense. Of course, it has the potential to cause jaw pain, the habit of compressing teeth, or headaches that feel like they come from temples.

How To Know And Overcome It

If you experience headaches, necks, or jaws and suspect that your horseshoe is the cause, there are several key signs that can be considered. One of them, if you feel uncomfortable less when you relax your hair ties or release a horse lock, it could be a clue to the problem related to hairstyle.

Egbogah also added, if the skin of the head feels pain, especially near the base of the skull or behind the ear or there is a sensation of being attracted or burning in the place of the hair tied, most likely it is caused by your hairstyle.

Fortunately, you don't have to say goodbye to this favorite hairstyle.

"Use a fabric (scrunchie) hairband, as it allows hair to shift slightly, thereby reducing tensions in hair pulled," McAllister suggested.

If you've felt pain, you can try some simple stretching at home. Thriller stretching stuck, as recommended by McAllister, can help retrain neck fractures. You do this, straighten your back, pull your chin inside, last five seconds, and repeat 10 times.

Egbogah also recommends a sectoral stretch to open the chest muscle and lower the shoulder, which can relieve neck tension and improve the too advanced head posture. To do so, tie your hands behind your back, keep your arms straight while pulling your hands down. Close the spine and hold it for five seconds.

"You should feel a comfortable stretch in your chest." said Egbogah.

So, even though Ariana Grande's hairstyle is beautiful, it's important to keep an eye on the signal from the body. With a little adjustment, you can still look stylish without having to sacrifice neck health.
