I haven't posted in years so apologies for doing so and asking for some advice straight away.
I had some micro ring hair extensions fitted a couple of weeks ago and have not been able to stop itching since.
The girl did a great job, my hair was quite short, bonds were neat and close to the scalp and I would say Ive had a normal amount of slippage as they settle in to the shorter areas which on at least one occasion, she has been happy to reposition. She is now on holiday.
I am guessing its an allergy as if I wear metal earrings I have a similar reaction. I was not aware how close actual metal was going to be to my skin and when I looked at the rings they looked plastic covered but clearly they were just painted metal.
My problem is the brown metal rings have turned silver and are aggravating my scalp big style. They will have to come out but my own hair has been cut to a style with the extensions in and its going to look a little weird if I just have them removed. Im wondering if I should have another set of rings put in but ask for a different ring? Did she use substandard rings? Or go back to old fashioned bonds which I had before and I never had any problems with.
Need to sort it asap, its driving me mad!
BTW, I am an industry professional, I own a hair & beauty salon but Im the beauty not the hair :-/
