Introduction: Musculoskeletal disorders denote the problem of the locomotors system that includes muscles, tendons, cartilages, ligaments and nerves. Occupation related musculoskeletal disorders are from maintaining prolonged awkward posture and the activities with low force results in damage even at short intervals and repetition during work. Hairdressers working ability and health conditions are affected by specific work related activities. The predominant triggering factors are the tasks such as blow drying, dying and cutting. Various researches addressed the musculoskeletal disorders in hairdressers but there are no clear evidences to identify the most likely disorder. Thus the study aimed to find the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders in hairdressers. Methodology: 50 hairdressers were selected using convenience sampling method. Body Mass Index, working hours, total years in the field are analyzed and both the gender were included in the study. Nordic musculoskeletal questionnaire was used to evaluate musculoskeletal disorders. Result: The prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders by Nordic musculoskeletal questionnaire injury to neck region was high as 28% and second most frequent region was wrist and hand with 22% and shoulder with 20%. The significant factors affecting this was improper posture, excess threshold biomechanical strain exposure, continuous exposure to same posture for prolonged time, repetitive strain, lack of strength over muscles. The study also found that female worker complaints majorly the neck pain whereas male worker complaints majorly wrist and hand pain due to difference in task over the clients. Conclusion: Musculoskeletal symptoms of hairdressers were highly prevalent and are associated with poor posture and lack of awareness. Thus this occupational group could benefit from regular precaution and ergonomic modification.
