Hi,
Thought I'd just update you guys on my micro ring extensions.
I got micro ring extensions in about late April. I took them out myself 2 days ago and relaxed today.
Thread of when I got it done:
http://www.longhaircareforum.com/showthread.php?t=618081
As it grew out my new growth didn't matt as I separated it every once in awhile (although there were close calls!)
BUT when I took it out, the point where the ring was clamped onto my hair (no glue was used) was matted and knotted. I tried to comb it out before I washed and afterwards, and then when I went to get a relaxer there was still some more. :/
Either way, eventually I got all of the knots out and the relaxer came out wonderfully.
I talked to my hair dresser and she says she can do a weave for me that will cost me much less than the micro rings and also my hair will be protected so I think I'm going to go for it. I'm putting a lot of trust in her as the last weave I got (it was just done by my friend's sister when I was 16) was a complete and utter nightmare! /crosses fingers
But for now, my mother is going to reinstall the micro rings and I will have it for a few weeks until I get a weave. (I've grown very attached to having long hair D: )
Oh and I did notice a bit of growth with my own hair. I went from shoulder length to collar bone length. It might not seem like much but it's something! I'm hoping for even more length when I do a weave.
This thread is just for anyone who wants to know about different types of extensions etc.
