Hair extentions! Started by: Rachel

You’re not allowed hair extensions if they have any metal in, you also can’t have your hair bobble with metal in either. Which hair extensions have you got? X

If you text your patient coordinator I’m sure she’ll be able to advise as to whether you definitely have to have them out x

I have a dermal in my neck which I can’t take out and my nurse at pre op consultation said I’ll have to sign a form to say I’m aware of risks and use a tape over it. Said the reason was when they cut you open using a tool or something it can suck metal towards the heat and could possibly cause blisters around my dermal but she said it will be fine. Maybe ring your PC and explain the situation and ask if you can sign a form however it may depend on whether the surgeon will be OK with it or not too. Anyways good luck though xxx

My extensions are sewn in on metal micro beads and I had to take them out 🙁 literally just had them tightened as well, I didn’t even think! Was sat there like a baldy chicken with no lashes or anything ha! You’re at risk of burns if you have anything metal … apparently! X

@rachelf93 You have to take those type out aswell. Any metal. Some of the tools they use in theatre e.g. diathermy which stops bleeding can interfere with the electrical activity in your body and cause burns and in this case it would be your head. They won’t physically check your head but I don’t think you want to risk that happening to you. I’m a nurse and i’ve seen this actually happen. I’ve had to have mine removed as they are micro ring wefts (the ring being metal) and they had just cost me £500 lol. xx

@jessica thanks for the information – I’ll make sure I stay natural for the next month then 🙂 just to be totally on the safe side.

Rachel, check your messages Hun. I’ve sent you over what my nurse said xx
