When the baby lovebirds first start getting feathers on their cheeks, will the feathers be white like the rest of the body feathers, then turn to their colors, or if they grown in white, will the babies have white faces rather than red? Let me know if I'm not making sense, I'll try to explain better!

Need a better explanation. When the feathering on the cheeks first appear, they have that outside keritan covering that can look a waxy white. Once the keritan comes off, you will see the muted baby coloring.

When the babies started to grow, they got white fuzzy feathers all over their bodies, then, as they grew more, the white fuzzy feathers start to disappear and the color started coming in, now their faces have white feathers on them and I'm wondering if the white will go away, and then they develop color or if the white would stay and they would have white faces.

If the babies are blue series babies, the adult facial feathers could be white. The reddish peach is only green series. Turquoise (Whiteface Blue) has a white face and I've had some youngsters that show the muted white face before the first molt.
