Your neck has gone into stiffness to protect the nerve from excessive force applied while drying the hair. You will need to visit the physiotherapist to get it corrected. Meanwhile get a muscle relaxant prescribed from your general physician.
Next Steps
Apply ice pack for 15 mins on your neck while resting the neck on the pillow. After icing try to move the neck slowly left and right within painfree range.
Health Tips
Avoid hot packs.
