Hi everyone, its been a while since i came here. I wa using jojoba oil and my hair was doing lovely and I was very excited, it was about an inch above my waist with much fewer split ends but Now I have a pproblem and I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this.

for the last month approx. my scalp has been VERY tender and sore. the water in the the shower hurts, combing my hair hurts, wearign it up hurts. It is more tender in certain spots then others. But upon feeling around and asking my bf to look at my head there are NO lumps, red spots, itchy spots, flakyness, and my scalp looks just perfectly normal from everything we could tell, It just is super tender!  ???
I don't recal doing anything weird like wearing my hair up super tight. There was a period I was outside in the sun for long periods of time this summer with little protection aside from my jojoba oil, however from everythign I can tell from reading it seems if it was sun damaged or from wearing your hair up to tight it would be healed in a few weeks. 

Does anyone havbe any thoughts on this that might be useful or experiences or advice. thanks. 

Hmm... I had a perm once and that made my scalp very sore.  It burned my scalp actually and it still feels a little rough on that spot  

no I never color or perm my hair, or even use a hair dryer or anything.

I have gotten sore spots from wearing my hair up to tight in the distant past back when I used to use hair bands but that was long ago.

I thought maybe it was the sun because when I go into the sun is when it feels the worst except it is not red or even pink. I also considered maybe some sort of scalp infection but again I don't see any signs. I guess I was wondering if it could have been the sun or a scalp infection even though there are no visable signs or if its most likely something else.

It also feels best after I have taken a shower.
