There is provided a head suspension mechanism capable of more effectively restraining sway mode and second-order torsion mode vibrations of the head suspension mechanism caused by an air flow. A flange portion having a free end portion 23c on the base part side is formed at both edges close to the tip end of a suspension main frame 23, and at the same time, an elastic material 23d is provided in the free end portion 23c. Also, a sway mode dynamic vibration absorber is formed by the length of the flange portion and the damping effect of the elastic material 23d.
