(for those of you who read my Why'd My Hair Break Off & Thin Out Post... this is the same topic, just a different title, cuz i want folks to know it was a sew-in that caused this. hoping maybe all the sew-in regulars will come on and help me out!!)
i got a sew-in weave in november to "hide my hair" for a few months and hopefully grow it longer than the BSL length it was at. i put the weave in in Nov kept it in 3 mos as i was instructed, took it down and put it back up the same day & kept it in for another 3 mos - from feb til may. when they took it down, my hair was soooo much thinner! it didn't grow very much and it looks as if it broke off! there's a noticeable line of separation from the ear down where its noticeable thinner! and my ponytails look anemic!! its a mess!!!! i'm so mad!! and sad! i don't know what could've gone wrong! the only things i can think of are:
i hope someone here can help me find an answer. should i put it back in? my hair looks HORRIBLE now and i really can't stand to look at it, much less let anyone else. i've had beautiful, healthy BSL hair for years! just thought the sew-in would be a fun way to grow it out longer and not have to deal with it on a daily basis. now i'm a lot poorer and have less hair. can someone please explain?!?!?! one person said maybe my hair is too "fine" for a sew-in and couldn't take the tension? i have no idea, i've always considered my hair healthy and fairly strong.
please, someone explain! help! i'm back at square 1 - pre LHCF status hair.

- i have A LOT of FINE hair - maybe my fine hair can't handle a sew-in?
- the stylist was a little rough & rushed the take down - my head was sore afterward. could she have been too rough during take-down, causing me to lose much hair?
