Sew-in weft extensions- extremely itchy and red, help!

Hi everyone, I’m hoping someone with experience with weft extensions can help me figure out what might be going on before I contact my hairdresser.
I had weft hair extensions installed 8 days ago, and since then my scalp has been extremely itchy. I’ve noticed some areas where my scalp looks red and inflamed, and I have small red sores/pimple-like bumps in certain places.

At first I thought it might be caused by the moustache/return hair on the weft irritating my scalp, but now I’m not sure because it’s not happening everywhere. The worst irritation seems to be around certain sections, especially the very bottom weft. Some areas feel completely fine, while others are really itchy and sore.

I’ve taken some pictures of the affected areas and was hoping hairdressers or anyone who has worn weft extensions before might be able to give me some insight.

Wart? Something else?

Hi everyone, I’m hoping to get some opinions from people who may have had something similar.
I have a growth on my scalp that my doctor identified as a wart. I’ve had it checked, and they didn’t seem concerned and don’t want to remove it at the moment. The problem is that it keeps getting caught in my hairbrush, which is really annoying and sometimes uncomfortable.

Recently I noticed it had some greenish, pasty build-up on the surface. I ended up gently picking it off (I know I probably shouldn’t have), and underneath it looked much more like a normal wart/skin-coloured bump again.

I’m wondering has anyone had a scalp wart that developed this kind of greenish/pasty build-up?
Does this sound like a typical wart, or could it be something else?

Has anyone had a scalp growth removed just because it was constantly catching on brushes/combs?
I’m considering asking again about removal because it’s irritating and I’m worried about repeatedly catching/traumatising it.

I know nobody can diagnose from a post — just looking for experiences or advice before I go back to my doctor.

Estée Lauder Dupe; help

I’ve been wearing Estée Lauder Double Wear for years (shade 3N1 Ivory Beige) and since the reformulation it just doesn’t perform the same on my skin.

What I loved about the old formula was: Amazing oil control (this is my biggest priority!) I only needed a small amount for great coverage. Once I set it with powder, it gave the most beautiful airbrushed, pore-blurring finish. It also lasted all day without breaking down. I’m not necessarily looking for the flattest matte foundation—I just need something that keeps oil under control and still looks smooth after powder.

I’ve been looking at these foundations as I heard they are the best dupes for EL:
YSL All Hours
MAC Studio Fix Fluid
Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra Wear

Can anyone recommend any of these foundations (or others) which I can use instead of my beloved EL.

Also, if any of you have used shade “3N1 Ivory Beige” what shade would be best suited as a replacement. There are no makeup shops near me so I have to purchase the foundation online.

Sew-in Weft Extensions- Intense Itching

Hi everyone,
I got sew-in weft hair extensions on Monday and I’m wondering if what I’m experiencing is normal or if I should be concerned.

The first day my scalp was really sore, but that has mostly gone away. Now I’m left with constant itching. I think it might be the return hairs (“moustache”) on the weft irritating my scalp because that’s where it feels the worst.

I’ve already gone back to my stylist once to have a couple of wefts adjusted because they were visible, but the itching is still there. It almost feels like my hair is being lightly pulled sometimes, although lifting/ tugging the row itself doesn’t hurt at all. I’ve also washed the hair to see if this would help.

Has anyone else experienced this? Did it settle after a week or two, or did you end up needing the wefts adjusted or removed?

For context, this is my first time ever having extensions, so I don’t know what’s normal!
Thanks

Bobblehead shop in Beijing, HELP!

Hi all, I need help locating a shop in Beijing which crafts life-like bobblehead caricatures. I am travelling to Beijing in September and was watching some food review videos on YouTube. In this particular video I spotted a couple getting a bobblehead caricature done in one of the shops. As I am travelling in a couple I would love to get one of these as a souvenir. Would anyone be able to pinpoint this exact shop for me from the screenshot? Any help is appreciated!
