Hi,
Hair extensions are to lengthen/ rearrange normal hairs by attaching hairs collected from other individuals.
The small lumps you note seem to be lymph nodes,& indicate reaction ( allergic) to the adhesives/glue/clips used for joining the hairs.
Another possibility is some infection/infestation( Lices,Dandruff) carried to you own hairs from the attachment.( Need a specific treatment)
Please consult your service provider /a skin specialist for consultation regarding continuation of the attachment / treatment
Thanks
