Is this how it's supposed to be?

I got my two strand twist with extensions on July 8th and already I have 1/4" new growth showing. All I have done was to mist my hair with a deoionized water, almond oil, vitamin E, rosemary, and peppermint EO twice a day. I just washed it using the crown and glory method.
Is this natural? I didn't think I would need to have it redone so soon!

Hi "transitioning twin,"

I got my two-strand twist extensions on June 18, and I have about 3/4" of new growth. I'm guessing that's about typical, athough yours may not be (it's been only a week right?). I had hoped to get 2 full months of wear out of the style without rebraiding. Now I'm just praying I can get another two weeks!

I guess we shouldn't be complaining...the faster the growth, the faster to the BC!

Yes its only been a week! I too was hoping that it would last at least 2 months so I didn't have to worry about it while I was doing finals and out of the country. I'll have to get it redone in 2 weeks just like you.
I'm not sure I am ready for all this growth...or the BC just as yet. I just need more time!!!

This is why I could never get any kind of extensions. I feel I'd just be wasting my money...they wouldn't last. Congrats on the growth though and Happy Transitioning!!!

Don't know if that's how it's s'posed to be but congrats on the speedy growth!
