It is recommended that extensions are removed at the same salon at which they were applied. Technicians who have formal training from a certified hairdressing or extensions school should also be trained on how to remove extensions properly to ensure no damage. If you wish to replace your extensions immediately, this will have to be arranged by prior consultation, where the technician will again check your hair and scalp condition.

Hair Shedding

Growth and shedding is a natural cyclical process that everyone’s hair goes through to make room for new hair. This process continues even when wearing extensions. Everyone’s hair sheds daily to replenish healthy hair and the shedding process may be more noticeable at times depending on the weather, changes in hormones and general health.

When wearing extensions, especially in braids or weaving, the natural fallen hair will not have been able to release itself. So when extensions are removed the natural hair that has shed and been replaced by new hair will be released. So it may appear that you have hair that is moulting in large amounts, but this is normal and is actually hair that has been replaced by new hair already.
