Bad extension experience Printed From: HairBoutique.com Category: The HairTalk® Archives Forum Name: Hair Talk Archive Forum Description: All the old Hair Talk Messages...

About 6 weeks ago I decided I wanted a change, so I opted for extensions. The stylist braided them in so tightly that my head positively stung. When I told her the braids were really hurting my scalp, she said it was just because my scalp had to get used to the braids and to just take some Tylenol. Since it was my first time, I believed her.I just went back to have the extensions removed. My hair was so damaged in one spot from where the braids were too tight that a big clump fell out and I now have a three inch round bald spot on the crown of my head. What do I do? Do I go to a dermatologist? How can I tell if there is permanent damage? How can I help my hair to grow back? Replies:
