Hi there! It seems strange to me that you would get headaches or dizziness from bridges and backbends. Hair whipping can be dizzy-making if you're doing it a lot, though. Do you do a lot of spinning on the pole? Are you doing many inversions? Factors that could affect these things would be things like breathing (whether you're doing it or not during these moves- breathing is very important!), and how much water you drink throughout the day. I've found that drinking enough water, not just when I'm working out, but all through the day, and on rest days! Other things are how recently you started these moves, and how much you're pushing yourself. Our bodies take time to figure out the inversion and spinning movements, and for some people, it can even take months.

Hair whips take time to get use to, start off slowly and soon it won't bother you as much! Dizziness can happen in any of those back bends or inverted positions. It could be a number of things, high blood pressure, sinus issues, holding your breath is a super common culprit for dizziness!! Standing up too quickly can do it too. Also if you have inner ear issues that can make you feel dizzy. If remembering to breathe doesn't help it might be good to see a dr. 😊
I get dizzy too from hair whips and spinning upside down on spin pole too much I took a headache last time I did a combo upside down on spin a couple of times.. Don't really know why either.
Same here, for some reason ever since I had my son I feel instantly queasy with spinning pole, hair whips, pirouettes and even normal spins on static pole if I do a few in a row. I put it down to hormonal changes, or maybe to a bad ear infection that I had when my son was newborn?
