OHhhh! I'm really sad that this happened to you, they looked soo nice that I was thinking of getting some myself, I do not know what to say to you to make you feel bbetter , so here is a big {{{{{{{{{{HUG}}}}}}}}}} give yourself a good hot oil and protein treatment. at least the itching is over.

Thanks again ladies!

Ladibug, thanks for sharing your story. Yes, I wouldn't mind being your hair buddy! I've never had a reaction like this...to anything!!! I would've thought that the kanekalon would've caused something like this...not human hair. With human hair, I didn't think that it was possible!

deeshortesthair - I forgot all about a hot oil treatment. I don't know why, since I do one once a week! I guess it was because I was so upset.

Oh no, im so sorry this happened. Dont worry it will grow back before u know it. I remember when I went bald after a relaxer I was so sad, but before I knew it my hair that i lost had come back. Good luck

Okay...another update:

I did a pre-poo treatment with jojoba oil, coconut oil, castor oil, and honey. I left it on for 30-45min. and then rinsed. I then conditioner washed with Pantene R&N. My hair now feels normal. My scalp is still a little tender, but with each passing day it gets a little better (I'll be glad when it gets 'a lot better'!) My scalp looks normal and I don't have any shedding or breaking, so that's good. I think my scalp is sensitive from the trauma (esp. scratching)

I'll do CW washes everyday and Surge 2x a day and use Capilong at night w/Surge. I'm no longer sad. I'm determined now, ladies!!!

My hair is going to grow back, danggit!

Tigerlily, I am so sorry about what happened.

I agree with my fellow LHCFer that said you had an allergic reaction. I would definitely suggest you take some Benadryl. They even have topical Benadryl as well. Even hydrocortisone would help. I'm glad to know that you're feeling better. I think that you shouldn't cut your hair. Once your scalp is calmed down, I would do simple box braids with the kanekalon hair that you are familiar with. This will give your hair time to catch up.

i AM SO SORRY. YOU WILL BOUNCE BACK. JUST GIVE IT TIME AND TLC

It's OK girl.
Many of us have had hair set backs. When I first transitioned I went back to a relaxer/texturizer twice in 1996. I also burned my napps last year with a pressing comb. I had to cut off most of my hair and start all over again with a short hair cut.

Your hair will grow back.

The benadryl pills make me awfully sleepy. I'm already on a lot of medication. I will, however invest in the benadryl cream/hydrocortisone for my scalp and probably get some cornrows in a couple of weeks. Thanks for the suggestion!
