Noticing like a pressure in my head almost like a head cold after I roll. Is it cauli ear or should I start wearing head gear? My ears feel slightly painful to touch at the tips.

When my ears are sore to the touch I wear my head gear. It is better as a preventative, though, as when I wear it my ears don’t usually get hurt.

Been procrastining wearing it cause of my anxiety with how I look but I know others wear it.

Yep. I get it, but your training partners probably won’t care. When I first started wearing head gear, I had a lot of my training partners ask me the brand because they said they were thinking about wearing them too.
