New and FREAKIN right now

Hi Everyone

Ok I had two days ago extensions put in.  I'm not familiar with alot of the terminology you all know yet but basically I had 14inch body wave human hair put in.  Cornwrap, then sewed in extensions. 

I LOVE MY hair for sure but it is shedding, my scalp itches like crazy, my hair looks like it is going into a FRIZ ball. 

HOW I TAKE CARE OF MY NEW HAIR:

If i comb it I use a wide comb, start from bottom up, I bought moisturizer (non alcohol) and put it in at night, wrap in silk scarf,

I am getting so frustrated and scared......i don't want this frizzy look, bunching look, etc....i don't want to look like a poodle.  So far it's not that extreme but i see it's getting there quickly. 

 

Please help.....what else can I do?????? I wanna cry.......there must be something I don't know. WHAT????

 

Here is a pic of me after it was done if you want to see:(

i went and picked out my own hair at a wig store, suppose to be good stuff....it was called premium something i can't remember

does anyone know if mayonaise treatments work on human extensions??? i could try that

I think it looks great, curly hair is so difficult. It might be a bad quality, which you might just be best off having it removed and buying something that's a higher quality.

It sounds like you have sew-ins, so then you would probably do some oil treatment before you have them taken out. I have 2 favorites for that, is either coconut oil or if you have a Trader Joe's near you, they sell this Vitamin E oil in a bottle which is just amazing. Just heat it up a little to make it warm, and put it in, then wrap it up for as long as you can, and just wash out.

The shedding it's hard to do something about at this point, and the itching seems to be about par for most sew-ins, from what I hear.

Goodluck, hopefully it gets better because it looks really good!

Yeah it sounds like you probably got a non remy low quality hair. Hopefully you will be able to find products that will help you to at least keep it under control and tolerable for the next few weeks or until your next install. But honestly, once you start having problems it usually goes downhill pretty quickly.

Hi Girl!

Thanks Frenchie and nursie

Hi!!  And welcome!  I'm sorry you are having trouble with your hair!  There is a definate learning curve with hair extensions.  When selecting hair you do want 'Remy' also spelled 'Remi'.  Hair is sorta scaly if you could see it magnified, so if you have 1 strand with scales(cuticle) facing down and 1 strand facing up they are going to catch on each other and those around them causing tangling.  Remy hair will have be cuticle intact(ie not processed to within an inch of it's life) and aligned(all facing the same direction).  You look like a color #4 or #6, it's hard to tell because computer screens can make colors look different.  Most vendors will post a color key to help you decide which looks closetest to yours.  Ofcourse, you could always color it yourself like some of us have to do.  The majority of hair vendors also offer hair in 18" and 22", even longer sometimes.  The wave depends on how long your hair is and what type of wave pattern your natural hair has.  Keep in mind that most brands will drop some of the wave once washed.  If you aren;'t sure, post a question, chances are someone will be able to help you.
