What to Expect After Your Extensions Are Removed

Wander West Beauty | Extension Removal Care

First off — I want you to know: you are not crazy, and you are not alone. It’s completely normal to feel like you have no hair after your extensions come out. I hear you, and I promise, what you're feeling is expected and temporary.

Here’s the real deal:
When your extensions were installed, I matched the amount of hair I added to at least the amount you naturally had on your own. That means you were used to feeling double the amount of hair on your head — sometimes even more. Now that your extensions are removed, your scalp and your hands will notice the difference right away. It’s like going from two cozy blankets to one: you feel lighter, but nothing is missing.

Some Things You Might Notice:

  • Your hair may feel thinner or lighter at first — that's normal.

  • Your scalp may be slightly more sensitive for a day or two.

  • Shedding a little hair during your first couple of brushes post-removal is normal, too — extensions can hold onto naturally shed hairs.

How to Support Your Hair After Removal:

  • Be gentle with brushing for the first few days.

  • Use a lightweight leave-in conditioner to support hydration.

  • Avoid heavy products that can weigh your natural hair down.

  • If you’re planning to reinstall extensions soon, take extra care to protect your hair health in between installs.

Final Thoughts

Your hair is still healthy, beautiful, and strong.
The light feeling is just your scalp adjusting back to its natural weight.
