From the Research
Monitoring sulfur serum levels after I-tip hair extensions is not necessary as there is no medical or scientific basis for this practice. I-tip hair extensions are a cosmetic procedure that involves attaching hair extensions using small metal or plastic tubes, and this process does not affect sulfur levels in the bloodstream. Sulfur is an essential element in the human body primarily found in amino acids and proteins, but its serum levels are not routinely measured in clinical practice except in specific research contexts, such as studies on methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) supplementation 1, 2. Hair extensions, regardless of the attachment method used, do not alter the body's sulfur metabolism or require any special monitoring of sulfur levels. Some studies have investigated the absorption and accumulation of MSM in the body, including its incorporation into serum proteins and tissues 3, 1, but these findings are not relevant to the context of I-tip hair extensions. If you're experiencing scalp issues after getting I-tip extensions, it's more likely related to tension, allergic reactions to the materials used, or improper installation rather than sulfur imbalances. For any scalp discomfort following hair extension placement, consult with a dermatologist who can properly diagnose and treat the specific condition. The most recent and highest quality study on MSM supplementation suggests that it is well-tolerated and may have health benefits, but this is not relevant to the question of monitoring sulfur serum levels after I-tip hair extensions 2.
