Took some Tylenol and it helped a bit, I'm just a big baby when it comes to pain so I'm wondering what is average time for extensions to 'hurt' before we are used to them? (understanding that is a subjective question) Also where can one find really good strong tools for holding this hair up? I'm not sure i can even gather it into a ponytail:P)

Heya! Congrats on your new hair. :)

It wouldn't be unrealistic to have a sore head for 4 or 5 days or even a week after an install.

A looper brush is pretty comfortable going over tracks and bonds. Do you have one? If anything, make sure you use your fingers to gently separate the hair where it's installed. Ya never want a matt to begin developing because they can quickly get out of control.

A claw type holder works pretty well for large amounts of hair. I'm thinking you want to pile it up and get it off your neck from time to time? Those things are everywhere - Sally's, Longs, W-Mart, Rite-Aid, etc. An elastic headband can also hold hair up off the neck or be used as a ponytail holder if you have a lot of hair in.

I sewed my extensions in on Monday, I had the sensation that there was something on my head, not a sore feeling. Maybe a little bit tight, not much. I am very tenderheaded. I can't stand alot of pain either, I guess that is the reason why I do my own extensions

my head is usually sore for about 10 days after an install
