Melanie Awinja wrote to me recently: “I am a model and perpetually weave my hair. I have never suffered any side effects but recently, after three weeks with a weave, my scalp turned red and some parts started bleeding. I have also lost a lot of hair on the hairline. This is the most painful experience of my life. What do you think is the problem?”
Some women do drastic things for the sake of appearance, including perpetual weaving. It costs thousands of shillings to wear a good weave so it is important to ensure the hairdresser attaches it professionally. If it is attached too tightly, or weighs too much, it can affect your hairline and scalp.
