I have to be careful because if I scratch too vigorously, I end up shaking my head and causing a sub-concussive movement. I had to learn to be much more careful when I an drying my hair with a towel.

Scratching can cause an increase in blood flow. That is why scratching an itch works. This increased blood flow may be causing the head ache.
