Hello,
I need some advice please as I’m in a bit of a panic. Having tried to grow my hair for years, I took the plunge in getting 150g microweave extensions last July. I loved them and was v happy. I had a refits every 8 weeks and was told everything was looking good.
I got a new longer set put in this week and saw my natural hair for the first time in 7 months. I was so shocked at how thin it felt. My hair is naturally very fine but I’ve always had enough of it that it looked normal and not thin. The ends were wispy and when I gathered it up for a pony tail it was a sad wispy mess =(
Now I know it wasn’t at its best at that moment having just been ‘released’ from the extensions and I was prepared for it to not look amazing but I’m now concerned when I do go back to my natural hair that it’s going to be thin and straggly forever. I wanted to wear this set for as much of this year as possible but instead of enjoying how lovely my extensions look I’m wondering if that’s going to make it worse.
My hairdresser knows her stuff and has a lot of clients - she says she’s not concerned and that it will look better with a wash and cut when I go back to normal. Looking at my before photo from the first set just makes me want to cry though, I really hope I haven’t ruined my hair.
Is this normal and am I right in thinking I can get it back to how it was with some TLC and a shorter cut when I’m ready to go natural again?
