Itching from hair extensions

Itching: What to do if your scalp itches because of extensions? My scalp has been itchy ever since I started wearing hair extensions! It's quite possible that you'll experience a feeling of tightness or tingling on your scalp during the first few days with your new hair extensions. The added weight of the tape-in strand irritates the hair follicles, so they need some time to adjust. A slight itching sensation in the first few days is therefore not unusual. However, if the itching persists for an extended period, you should take further action and, if necessary, consult a professional. Brief itching immediately after insertion If you're wearing your extensions for the first time, don't worry if your scalp itches a little during the first few days. Your scalp needs to get used to the new weight. In most cases, this isn't an allergic reaction, but rather a temporary response to the strain. Give your hair a few days to calm down. Sensitive skin & extended adjustment period If you generally have a sensitive scalp, it may take longer for everything to settle down. During this phase, pay particular attention to gentle care and mild products to avoid irritation. Residues from care products A common cause of persistent itching is residue from shampoos, conditioners, styling products, or masks—especially when left behind at the attachment points. This can irritate the skin and hair follicles. Therefore, thorough rinsing and minimal use of styling products are essential. Allergic reaction & material sensitivity Allergies are rare, but possible. Causes can include keratin, adhesive, or other components of the tape-in extensions. If you are prone to allergies, a skin test with a small strand of hair may be advisable. Incorrect placement of the extensions (too close to the scalp) can also contribute to irritation. Other possible causes Attachment too tightly / tension: Extensions that are applied too tightly can permanently irritate the skin. Dry scalp / lack of moisture: A dry, tight scalp reacts more strongly. Clogged pores / poor hygiene: Product residue or sweat can clog pores and increase itching. Measures for relief & prevention – Regularly use a gentle deep cleanser (clarifying shampoo) to remove deposits. – If necessary, have the extensions slightly loosened or repositioned. Reduce styling products and avoid harsh chemicals. – Consciously build in breaks from wearing the product so that your scalp can regenerate. Conclusion Not every itch indicates an intolerance. Often, the cause can be resolved with minor adjustments. With gentle care, proper technique, and enough patience, your scalp can calm down, and you can enjoy your extensions without discomfort. FAQ – Itching & Extended Questions When is itching after hair extensions normal? Mild itching is common in the first few days. If it persists or worsens, an adjustment or consultation is advisable. Can an allergy test help? Yes – a test with a small strand of hair can help to identify whether there is a material incompatibility.
