Beauty

I have been wearing my hair naturally all of my life.(never mind my age) until recently. For my spring vacation I decided to change my overall appearance. I got my first weave yall! I allowed my friend to apply a relaxer and a few tracks to my scalp. She’s really talented and always wears a weave herself, so there was no reason to worry. Or so I thought. The following week my tracks became loose and I decided it was time to remove them. I was told that hair bond remover was all I needed and that I would walk away with the same amount of hair that I started with. I’m not sure if I was lied to or if I myself made a mistake somewhere down the line. I followed the instructions perfectly and carefully, but I still lost a lot of hair while washing. I’ve never experienced anything like it before. I freaked out! What happened? Why did I lose so much hair? I know lots of people who always wear weaves with glue and they don’t have any hair loss issues. Are weaves made for particular people? Anyway, my weave was beautiful so yes I would like to try it again; just professionally this time. I’m not mad at my girl but I want to make sure that it wasn’t something she did. Will a sewn in weave have the same effect? Can anyone give me any advice to regrow my hair?
