After growing my hair to a great length I had it cut fairly short. Regrets kicked in...

For years I have dabbled with extensions and like to think I'm fairly clued up. I ended up finding an african hair salon which sold excellent extensions. For £35 I received a 14inch weft which stretched out to around 3 meters. I would also buy bonding glue and glue them in but I soon got sick of the tacky itchy hassle of bonding glue in my hair.

After removing my last set of bonded extensions in a stressed out moment I left myself with 2 bald patches at each side of my head :(

I spent hours reading up on sew in weaves and thought I would give it a try. So yesterday I went to the salon and got a weave fitted for £60 as I already had a weft in a new packet. I was I'mpressed at how fast the stylist put it in only around an hour. It looked great although slightly painfull from the tugging and pulling. The only thing that worried me was I am the unfortunate owner of a double crown and I noticed the final braid at the top is very close to it.

I have woken up this morning to find the top brain has twisted up in the way my double crown lies and I can't get it to go down. I am now left with the hair sticking up like the edge of a carpet and I'm really disappointed.

What can I do to correct this. I can't go back to the shop today as they are closed and I am back to work tomorrow. I work in a salon and wearing a hat to hide it is not an option.

Any help would be aprreciated! Thanks guys.
 
I am not a hair expert but from years of wearing weaves I am sure I can give you a few tips. What I would usually do if I found myself in such a situation is to remove the weave at the top and the top braids and use by natural hair to cover the weft. This usually works if you have relaxed your hair though.

I was naughty and bunked off work after stressing all night about my hair.

Turns out she had placed the top 2 cornrows and wefts on my double crown (my crown goes very far down) and had sewn them in too tight.

She has moved them further down and look fine but now worried about washing my hair tonight :(

Thanks for the reply! x
