Dub&Lox Dreadlock Extensions

🌈💕 PART 2 – HAIR SHEDDING AFTER DREADLOCK EXTENSION REMOVAL! 💕🌈

✨ OMG! LOOK AT ALL THAT HAIR! 😱

Sound familiar?

One of the biggest shocks when removing your beautiful waves or dreadlock extensions is seeing just how much natural hair comes away!

But beauties, before you panic, let me explain! 💗

🌸 DID YOU KNOW? 🌸

On average, we naturally shed around 100 hairs every single day!

And guess what?

THIS CONTINUES EVEN WHEN YOU'RE WEARING EXTENSIONS! 💕

Normally, those loose hairs simply fall away throughout the day without us really noticing.

But when your natural hair is braided into extensions, those shed hairs become trapped inside the braids.

So when your extensions are removed, weeks or even months of naturally shed hair can come away all at once!

✨ LET'S PUT THAT INTO PERSPECTIVE! ✨

Based on an average of 100 hairs per day:

💕 5 weeks = approximately 3,500 hairs

💕 6 weeks = approximately 4,200 hairs

💕 7 weeks = approximately 4,900 hairs

💕 8 weeks = approximately 5,600 hairs

💕 9 weeks = approximately 6,300 hairs

💕 10 weeks = approximately 7,000 hairs

💕 12 weeks = approximately 8,400 hairs

That's a LOT of hair! 😱

Of course, everyone sheds differently, and these are just examples of how quickly naturally shed hair can accumulate.

🌿 WHY DOES MY HAIR FEEL SO THIN AFTER REMOVAL?

Think about it...

You've spent the last 2–3 months with a gorgeous, thick, full head of waves or dreads!

Suddenly, you're back to your own natural hair.

It's completely understandable that your hair might feel much thinner or flatter than you're used to.

Give yourself a few days to adjust, wash and condition your hair, and enjoy your natural locks! 💗

🌸 DID YOU KNOW SHEDDING CAN CHANGE WITH THE SEASONS?

Some people notice increased shedding during late summer and autumn, while others experience changes during spring.

Our hair naturally goes through different growth and shedding cycles throughout the year.

🌙 A LITTLE REASSURANCE FROM ME 🌙

✨ Hair shedding is completely natural.

✨ Your hair continues shedding while wearing extensions.

✨ Loose hairs can become trapped inside your braids

🌈💕 PART 1 – REMOVING YOUR DREADLOCK EXTENSIONS SAFELY 💕🌈

✨ A little advice from me to keep your natural hair happy and healthy! ✨

As much as we all love our gorgeous waves and dreadlock extensions, there comes a time when they need to be removed or refitted!

Ideally, I always recommend having your extensions removed professionally, but I completely understand that sometimes this isn't possible. 💗

If you're removing them yourself, the most important thing is to TAKE YOUR TIME!

🌸 MY STEP-BY-STEP REMOVAL GUIDE 🌸

💕 STEP 1 – Find the securing band

Locate the tiny elastic band or thread holding your extension in place.

💕 STEP 2 – Carefully remove it

Gently pull the band away from your natural hair before carefully cutting it with small scissors. Be extra cautious with thread, as it doesn't stretch!

💕 STEP 3 – Undo your braid

Slowly unbraid your natural hair from the extension. Never tug or pull!

💕 STEP 4 – Save your gorgeous waves!

If you're planning to reuse your extensions, lay them out neatly and loosely plait them together to keep them tidy.

💕 STEP 5 – Be gentle with regrowth knots

You may notice some tangling around your roots. This is normal after weeks of wearing extensions.

Use your fingers to gently separate the hair. A little coconut oil or detangling product may help loosen stubborn knots.

💕 STEP 6 – Detangle carefully

Work through each section gently using your fingers or a wide-toothed comb, starting at the ends.

You'll probably notice quite a bit of loose hair coming away. Don't panic! I'll explain why in Part 2! 💗

💕 STEP 7 – Give your hair some TLC!

Once all your extensions are removed, treat your natural hair to a lovely shampoo and deep conditioning treatment.

🌿 MY TOP TIP! 🌿

You don't have to do everything in one sitting!

Remove your extensions, apply a little oil or conditioner to stubborn tangles and come back to them later if needed.

Being patient and gentle is far better than rushing and potentially damaging your natural hair.

✨ REMEMBER ✨

I recommend having your extensions refitted every 8–12 weeks, with 12 weeks being the maximum.
