I’ve just taken out my own hair extensions and now I fear I’m half bald.....

[twirlypoo]

I blame wine for this situation, but i am genuinely nervous now.

Had tape extensions in, soaked hair in coconut oil and the ones at the side came out fine. Had a MASSIVE tat at the back of my head and because it was now 1am I got sick and just pulled it out. It was literally a tat the size of my fist

My hair is smothered in coconut oil which I’m going to sleep in, but I feel like my head is naked with hardly any hair on and I’m so nervous. I shouldn’t be allowed wine..... Or hair extensions....

I know you will all be asleep, but I feel like I need comforting stories of how other people have been so stupid and came through it with long, luscious locks regardless. GULP!!!! Anyone?!

Never had extensions but couldn't read and run. Hopefully it won't be as bad as it feels now in the morning

Ahh thank you for replying! I have had the fear all night. Washed out the coconut oil as best I can but there are still a few tiny spots with glue in my hair, so it was a bit tatty still. I’ve lost LOADS of hair, but I can’t work out how much of that is psychological from losing the extensions. I’ve dried it with my Babyliss big hair and whilst there is nothing ‘big’ about my hair, it doesn’t look as bad as I feared. I’ve still drunkenly scalped myself though, I’m a total liability!

I’ve never had extensions, but I remember my cousin saying that she felt half bald after having hers removed.
I’m sure it’s just that your own hair feels so thin after getting used to having the additional hair, but it put me off getting them!
