Sarytyr- I agree completely. It's so nice to know if I hate it or have
problems, or just want to change my hair back to how it was for a week, I
can. It's so much more control.
Also, yeah, a looper is a must! And just finger comb through it a lot, and
gently seperate the hairs that meld together from bond to bond.

When you remove your extensions, you'll notice quite a bit of hair falling out. This does not mean that your hair has been pulled out; people normally lose 50-100 hairs per day, but we don't notice it because they come out gradually in the hairbrush, shower, on clothing and chairs, etc. This isn't a problem, since new hair grows in at a similar rate to replace the fallen hair. When your hair is in extensions, hair cannot "fall" normally, since it's trapped in an extension base- so the root of the hair comes off your scalp, but the length remains next to your real hair. Once you take out your extensions, your hair must be detangled and the fallen hair removed. Your hair might look tangled and dreadlocked, but it's really mostly a matter of combing out the fallen hair.
I wish my hair lady explained this to me..

yes PaulaJayne, and thats one of the basic things she should have explained to you. Did she give you any after care or fusion maintanance information? Its normal for hair to shed, and it cannot 'fall' due to being attached in the bond.
But the things you mentioned sounded more like possible problems, which is why we suggested to you to have your girl LOOK at your bonds. Maybe you have an issue or maybe its just normal shedding, but without seeing them we cant tell , nor can anyone tell you over the phone.
Anyway good luck, and did you go see your extensionist?
Yes, I got a sheet that was from GL, it was basic stuff, nothing in detail. No, I did not go see her. She is booked up till the 12th. That one came out because I kept brushing it and thought it was a mat, it was my hair actually not a mat. So i did not know what it was until I found the inf0 I posted above on a website.

Not to BEAT a dead horse here.. But Paul Jayne.. All of the ladies here told you the VERY SAME THING when you posted your FIRST note here asking about extensions.. You are a little over the two month mark with your extensions, and your hair is growing..
The ladies here are right, and I'm going to echo the SAME sentiment.. GO SEE YOUR STYLIST TODAY!! not the 12th.. I know this is a new experience for you, but the ONLY way to aleviate your fears is to go see your stylist..
If she cannot see you until the 12th, then you need to seriously consider finding another stylist.. the 12th is too long to wait when your problems are ocurring TODAY.. You paid A LOT of money, and you should feel comfortable with your "purchase". I'm not a DIYer, and I can understand NOT wanting to do your own extensions. God bless the ladies who do their own, but I prefer to leave that to a professional. So go see your stylist.. If she cannot or will not help you until the 12th, get in the phone book or ask around or whatever you have to do, and find another stylist who is skilled and responsive to your concerns.
