Is it true that Shampooing hair at salon basins increases the risk of stroke in adults?
Unclear. A scoping review, a single case report, and a reference note describe a rare 'beauty parlour stroke syndrome' in which neck hyperextension at the salon sink is linked to vertebral/cerebellar vascular injury. None of these items quantifies an increased stroke risk in adults generally, so the evidence covers only a rare case-level association.
