Do you think head banging is good or bad for your hair? Do you ever head-bang? I like to head bang my hair dry after my shower. Now i don't mean head banging like your listening to some metal song lol but ya know, giving it some good shakes till its somewhat dry. Anyone else do that? or is it just me?

I did a lot of headbanging in my 40's but luckily, according to some research, not my whole life. Apparently spending the major part of a concert that way can damage your brain, shaking it around and stuff. Some would say the the damage is done, but I feel pretty sane--most of the time...

i do head bang when i am in the mood and i usually do that when i come out of the shower. i head bang my head to help dry my hair. kind of wierd? yes but i do that but not everytime. when i dont want to use the blower to dry my hair i do really throw my head wildly to dry my hair. well i dont think it is bad but if you will try it for the first time your neck will hurt so go slowly. faster and faster everyday lol.

When I blow dry my hair I hang my head down and blow dry it upside down and I shake my head around a little bit while I am doing that. I don't think it is bad for your hair. A little hard on the neck, but not on the hair.

I don't think it is bad for your hair. I don't head bang unless I am listening to music. But my son head hangs after he gets out of the tub.
