What sign might indicate that a weave should be removed?

The correct answer highlights significant signs that suggest it's time to remove a weave. Noticeable shedding, looseness, or a change in the appearance of the hairstyle can indicate that the weave is no longer secure or aligned properly with the natural hair. Shedding refers to the hair strands that come out from the weave, while looseness indicates that the weave might be becoming detached from the scalp or the natural hair it is sewn or bonded to. Changes in appearance might mean the style is becoming unkempt or very different from how it was originally styled. This warrants careful consideration about removal to maintain overall hair health and aesthetics.

In contrast, increased shine could simply suggest that the hair is well-maintained or treated, which could be good rather than a reason for removal. New hair growth is often a normal process that signifies healthy hair but doesn’t necessarily indicate an immediate need to take out the weave. Color fading can occur over time, yet it doesn't directly affect the integrity or wearability of the weave. Hence, while all these signs could reflect the overall condition of the hair and weave, the most direct indicators for removal focus specifically on how the weave is behaving and its physical condition.
