Is this normal?
I got my first ever extensions installed and went with IBE after researching the best method for fine hair that would be healthy and allow my hair to continue to grow so I could eventually (hopefully) “graduate” from having extensions. I’m really new at this, so not sure what is normal. The first pic is from 2 weeks after my install that was done on 7/24. The second pic is from today, 8/17. I asked my installer if the picture from the 2nd week was normal because it seemed insane to me that my hair grew so fast, but she assured me it was just growth and was normal. It seems to look much different now and the sparse “sections” have me concerned and I see little white dots and not sure if it’s product build up or if those are roots getting pulled out?? Before going back to my stylist I thought I’d ask for some experienced opinions! I’ll also add that these have been super comfortable, no pain, I can barely feel them. Just really want to maintain the integrity of my natural hair and not cause any damage. Is this normal?? My move up appt isn’t until the end of September and I can’t imagine how much more my rows will drop in that timeframe based on this! I’m honestly having a hard time adjusting to this hair so am also debating on having them removed but am trying to hang in there for at least a few months.
