I strongly recommend you see a trichologist who specialise in hair issues like yours. I also strongly recommend you stop using hair extensions until your hair has recovered. If you can't or don't want to see a trichologist (or doctor) then consider using a premium quality shampoo and conditioner that helps rejuvinate hair. These can be found at good online hair supply stores. Not products like Pantene, I mean specialty shampoos which stimulate hair growth. I also know of a lady who has very similar problems to you. She has bought a selection of wigs which actually look really good. She thins the wigs down so they don't look buffy and fake. NOONE know theyre wigs. Is this a possibility for you? I know they aren't very comfortable to wear but its better than eventually having no hair. One other possibility is to bite the bullet, and cut your hair really short. It sounds terrible but for some girls, it looks awesome. If you go searching on the internet, you'll probably find a supplier who states they have a product that won't damage your hair. But I wouldn't get sucked in by them as your hair is at a fragile stage. Your hair needs a break from extensions.

For the first 3 years I did the weft in type about 4 years ago my hair dresser started doing the micro ring I get them redone with new hair every two months because I like them to always feel sleek and if they clip falls to much i notice my hair tanlgles in the ring. Everytime we take them out I notice about two handfuls of my own hair and she tells me thats because my natural hair that I lose each day remains in the clip and not to worry. My natural hair is now very thin and it looks very fine and almost like pubic hair and it has not grown past my sholders in this whole time. I have naturally thin fine blonde hair but it seems to be disappearing and each time I need more hair to get the same fullness. When I first started with micro links I only needed about 100 peices now I need 150 pieces to get the same fullness. I'm too the point I can't go without the extensions because I only have good hair on the top of my head I can see and feel the difference in the quality of my top hair and the hair that is underneath. It feel like baby hair just fine thin and frizzy. I need to know what I should do to help nourish my own hair while have sometype of extensions to get me through as I do not look good with short hair. I feel like I can't go without but I feel if I don't do something now I will have no hair left. Please help I’ve haid hair extensions for about 7 years now.

The thing with hair extensions is that they are a relatively new concept to hairdressers. Reputable hair dressers are great for styling hair, colouring hair and recommending hair care products (among other things). But many hairdressers simply don't have the training and experience with hair extensions. They rely on their reputation as a quality hairdresser and as you found out, don't like to be confronted by a disappointed/angry customer. A bit of ego comes into it I think. <strong>I'd really be interested to know what method of hair extension you had added?</strong> And how long ago since you had your extensions added. Although there are others like you that have had this nightmare, <strong>I think the number of these cases has reduced in recent years as hair extension methods are refined and improved</strong>. For example, cold fusion means hot glue isn't needed which has been known to damage your natural hair. Also, new linings on the inside of micro rings aren't as harsh on the natural hair and reduce breakage significantly. Sorry to hear your bad experience Miranda.
