Salon hair wash stroke: Nowadays if you go to a salon, the salon owner asks you to wash your hair and you get it done. If put in simple words, this is a common thing and people see it as comfort and relaxation. But do you know, this process of making you feel relaxed can also be fatal for you. If you do not know, then let us tell you whether hair washing in the salon causes stroke or is it a myth.
Is there really a problem?
The problem that occurs in this is known as beauty parlor stroke syndrome. Therefore, experts advise that we should be careful while washing hair. This is a very rare problem. When a person keeps his head tilted back for a long time on the chair with wash basin in the salon, there can be pressure on the cervical arteries. Due to this, the blood flow stops, after which there is a risk of this type of problem. Beauty Parlor Stroke Revisited (PubMed), a medical study conducted in 2016, recorded 10 such cases over the course of 11 years in which stroke symptoms related to hair wash were reported. That means its cases are seen very rarely. Dr. Pramod Kumar, who works at Fortis Hospital in Sukhdev Vihar, Delhi, says, “This risk is more in those people whose arteries are already weak or who have blood pressure, diabetes, cholesterol or other heart related diseases. Even a slight pressure on the neck of such people can cause problems.”
How to protect?
If we talk about prevention, some precautions can be taken for this. For example, while getting hair washed, do not tilt your head back on the chair for too long. If you feel any discomfort, inform the hair dresser immediately. If you already have any problem, such as high BP and diabetes, then take special care. Experts believe that hair wash in salon is generally safe and millions of people get it done without any problem. This kind of problem is very rare. However, if you notice any kind of problem, such as neck pain or feeling dizzy, then immediately tell us about your problem.
