i have decided to go to boogiemama for synthetic extensions. but i was
just wondering about the nickel content of doc's microrings, which i
may try someday. i'm pretty allergic to nickel, is there any nickelfree
alternative besides eurolocs or hairlocs? |

Hey there... I would not suggest doctored locks microrings if you are allergic to metals. I have the same problem and broke out in bumps after a week of installation. Perhaps the extendatubes brand would be better... not sure. Maybe some of the other girls can help you find a better alternative. However, you you want to try doc's microlinks I can send you a few and you can test a couple of strands out with them before installing a full head-- just to be safe. PM me if you want them. |

I think the extendtubes are nickel too, but I cant remember, maybe someone else thats in the know will say for sure. Maybe shrinkies would be a better option for you!

Definitely don't use Doc's rings if you're allergic to nickel. (My friend's poor head...) ------------- http://www.hairalchemy.net - Hair Alchemy |

i am wondering if its the material your alergic to or this- what if the tube was placed so tight up to your scalp, and when you slept it rubbed your scalp making a scab ( sometimes the tubes can be scratchy) and the bumps you felt were scabs just trying to heal and purhaps if you placed them a bit lower on the hair shaft, it wouldnt make a scab. I know this becuase the girl who does my hair sometimes goes to close and i have had small bumps and it goes a way in a day or so . Now i have to remind her to not go so tight. our scalps are so sensitive too. could be you are alergic to them but try considering what i suggusted.

I thought you were going to Braiding Mecca, aka Boogiemama? You won't need anything but a photographer and a booking agent after that!
If you want to add more hair or whatever and you're allergic to nickel, just do shrinkies. Problem solved. |

TanglesRC- no, it's definitely the nickel. I just did a really tight
braided weave on the same friend, and her head is doing fine! -Rae ------------- http://www.hairalchemy.net - Hair Alchemy |
