HELP: My Hair Keeps Falling Out!!

[Ediese]

I don't know what the heck is happening. I applied a black rinse sometime last month, and noticed that my hair was shedding more than usual. So I've been trying to do very little manipulation.
I usually cowash daily and bun my hair (the only way I can get my hair in a ponytail). I detangle every time I cowash, and I just hate to see all the hair that's coming out. It's all shed hair with bulbs! It's funny because I don't have any breakage. The strands that are coming out are all curly, which means that the natural portion of my hair is all coming out. I figured I'd try to maybe just finger comb instead, but that causes more problems because if not properly detangled my hair locs up real fast.

I really dont' know what to do. This morning was disastrous. It seems like I can just pull on a strand a hair, and I just know that it's gonna come out. I don't know what to do. I just bought some garlic pills, and I've started taking those so hopefully that'll help. I'm a little afraid of how my hair will look when straightened now. I think I'm going to weave it up, so I dont' have to deal with this. It's a little depressing seeing globs of hair everytime.

Other than garlic pills, is there anything else that I can try?

This only happened to me two times, once when I was coming off of a med, and it only lasted a couple days, the next time I was sick and didnt know it yet and I lost half of my hair.

First have blood work done
Second how is your vitamin regimen?
I halted my hair loss in its tracks with a regemin

I know that I have heard this can happen with dyes, but if it were the dye wouldnt it have started immediately? not a month later?

 

[Irresistible]

ohh re-read , so it did start right after

oh mama, I dont know what to say if its a reaction to the dye

maybe someone else will have an answer for you


but yeah , glad your getting the garlic, since its been said so much that it helps

I hope it stops for you soon

I'm really inconsistent with vitamins, and I'm not taking any right now. Also, I haven't been eating that great (missing meals and stuff). I'll set up an appt for the blood work because I really need to have this taken care of asap.
About a month ago, I took the Plan B pill, and I had to take it again a week ago. I hope that's not a side effect.

Thanks Irresistible!

I didnt' really mention it before because it's really stupid that I did it, but I'm running all kinds of things through my mind trying to find the culprit. I remembered that I did apply the Jazzing rinse one week and because I didnt' think it took, I applied that Clairol rinse the very next week. I didn't think it would be a big deal because it was a rinse.

Could you by chance tell me the dye you have been using? I have also noticed some shedding. I started garlic pills about two weeks ago, it has helped some. I use jazzings, maybe that could be the cause of my hair fallout.

oh girl , yeah the plan B pill, thats the 'after' pill right? any pill thats hormones could do this! yup! ok get your Omega 3 (fish oil) and Omega 6 (Primrose or Borage oil) going , they help balance hormones , and get on the rest of your vitamins , multi and b complex and protein

it probably was the hormones and not the rinse, but then its hard to tell for sure, its ok girl you can get this under control again

Yes, I used the Jazzings first, and then the Clairol Beautiful Collection the next week.

I have noticed that when I do black rinses sometimes, I get extra shedding. I haven't noticed this with clear rinses however so I just thought that it was me..perhaps the colorant in the black rinses are harsher on the hair or something?? I dunno, but this has happened to me.

Yup..it's the after pill. I'm going to get those vitamins asap! Thanks so much!!!!!

I also started garlic pills when I noticed a lot of shedding and it definitely slowed the shedding down.

I'm experiencing this too, albeit I think it's due to the MT. I knew there was a good chance of it happening, but it's very scary to see it! I'm running to get some garlic tabs tomorrow!
