After much discussion about her hair extension traumas, she agreed to go to the Head Of Household (HOH) Room, readjust the extensions in privacy while popping some Advil to calm the related pain.
Long Term Scalp Damage From Hair Extensions?
Should Victoria worry about scalp damage from hair extensions?
Yes. Scalp or related damage is always a possibility when wearing any type of hair extensions.
Wearing clip-in extensions which cause consistent head pain and scalp bleeding may, in some cases trigger traction alopecia hair loss due to the daily positioning of the extensions clips..
Many types of extensions ranging from fusion to clip-in may put excessive amount of pressure on the scalp triggering hair shedding.
Besides causing bald spots from the constant strain of the clip-in extensions, Victoria is risking other long term hair damage.
The damage resulting from the hair extensions may range from stalled hair growth to scalp abrasions to a change in permanent texture. Wearing clip-in hair extensions overnight can be extremely painful.
