Irene Myangoh, a personal assistant working at a law firm in Nairobi went to an upmarket hair salon along Kenyatta Avenue, and spent more than N5,500 on a human hair weave.
Two weeks later she started suffering from severe headache that would not go away. She would wake up with severe headache at night.
She went to a private
doctor who gave her drugs for the relief of mild to moderate pain of inflammatory origin with or without fever; they would only work for a few hours and then the headache would be back worse than even before.

Desperate, she went to see a specialist who did blood tests and even a brain scan. All the tests were negative but the headache persisted, making her unable to concentrate at work and sleeping very poorly.
She went back to her doctor who decided to examine her scalp and under the beautiful weave he found worms!
The worms were burrowing into her skull and after sending the samples to the lab they found that the hair had eggs from which the worms had developed. Irene had to shave after this ordeal and took antibiotics for two weeks.

Elsewhere, 16-year-old girl from Buruburu, a Nairobi surburb, also suffered the same fate but unfortunately for her she died. Cobweb eggs were found in her hair after she died.
There was a profound cobweb design in her weaved hair. She dropped dead after constant headaches.
The root cause? The weave had unnoticed spider eggs. The warmth produced after weaving provided a very conducive environment for the eggs to hatch.
A spider grew in her scalp and bit her. The poison found its way to her blood. She could not survive the attack.culled
*i COULDNT DEAL,I TOOK OUT MY WEAVE AFTER SEEING THIS ARTICLE Because the heat in my scalp was tormenting me and i don’t want anything having babies in my scalp….i couldn’t deal,please be very vigilant….check that headache and itching.
Apologies to anyone in the hair business that might feel offended by this article.
I have heard a lot of stories about weaves. The best thing I think is to just be proud of our kinky hair and be safe.
Na only God go save we ladies! From fake hair to fake eye lashes to fake bum to fake finger nails to fake push up bras to fake foundation,infact can't just continue otherwise,there will b no space! Lobatan!!! Thank God am natural only dat I fix artificial weavon and not human weaves!
ADEYANJU
Adeyanju, ur statement shld be Thank God I fix only artificial weavon… You're not natural dear, inasmuch as you ve artificial on you which include clothes, shoes, u room cream, and visit the saloon at all… You're one of us.. ARTIFICIAL! Lol
Father Lord save us from all these horibble stories… Anyways, we are more than conqueror! Hey! My weavon is itching me now oh! God oh! HELP! HELP!!

These worms (maggots) are mostly found in human hair because they were not properly treated.
Hmmm na wa oh,u might check and not see anything because some of these eggs are not seen easily and they later go and hatch on your head and start burrowing into your skin like they made holes in that woman's breast! God will help us! Goose pimples!
Hei! I developed goose pimples reading this. Lord have mercy!
I dont understand how people believe there silly sensational lies. It was photo shopped holes on boobs now this. Hiss. Dr. T
Even if dat breast was photo shopped,it is still a horrible sight,i hav still not gotten over dat pics even if it has been put down,my imaginations runs very wild,anytime i remember it, its just goose pimples!
This is scary!!
D pic was photoshopped but the story Ȋs real. I saw the video of the doctor actually removing worms from the woman's breast and the worms wriggling out of the wman's breast
Thank God 4 my natural hair plaited wit rubber thread.
I pity women who take pride in sticking another woman's hair to their head. I can't,if I must wear hair,it has to be synthetic or nothing.
I hate the practice and can't even touch the so called human. hair on my body.
I can vouch that Nigerian women wear a lot of dead people's hair in this country.
I'M all for ,CHIMAMANDA ADICHIE for the proud African woman that she is. Never ashamed of her heritage. She even plaits thread hair to attend events.

Aunty Eya me I love the lessons whether story true or true not. I enjoy all the stories and recipes.
Now I think my weaves need to take a chill pill till I regain consciousness
My hair is too kinky and elastic, wish I had good natural hair.

Good human weaves will nt be have eggs or whatever cos they re washed nd processed well,its cheap human weaves that has problems cos they may not b processed well and for people that fixed artificial,b careful cos u an fall victim too cos u dnt knw where the hair is kept in d factory b4 packaging nd so anything can enter
How are you so sure good ones won't have eggs. How good is the good. Nne may God save us

I've told my wife that she's on her own as far as weavon, wig, or any of that artificial her stuff is concerned. Natural hair is the real thing.
