2 weeks post FUE, is the crust falling out of the implanted area with hairs normal? (Photos)

Today is 13th day post up. I used an avocado oil to massage the implanted area per instructions to remove the crust. I notice after shampooing with prescribed shampoo that I've been using since day 2 (just tapped it in inplanted area first 12 days), I notice that the crust had hairs in them. And many are still in the implanted area. Is that ok? Should there be hairs there or am I removing crust prematurely with the implanted hair attached? Should I removed all the crust slowly with the oil?
