Shedding buster, any ideas?

[fine_beauty]

I have noticed that I shed a lot irrespective of what I use. While I was transitioning May through November, I was scared of waking up without hair but I still have hair and it is growing.

If anyone has an idea about controlling shedding, please post away.

Regimen for my 4b fine hair
2ice a week wash w/CON
aphogee 2 min reconstructor
deep condition w/Clairol 5x renewal for permed hair
acv final rinse
leave in = redken's anti-snap
s-curl to hair when dry & safflower oil to seal moisture
protein conditioner = redken deep fuel (ran out of Joico kpac)

You're talking about shedding, right? Not breakage?? I think shedding is natural... not sure what you might be able to do to lessen it... maybe supplements??? Sorry; I know that was no help!!

Thanks for the reply Lindy

. Yes, I am talking about Shedding. It doesn't matter what I do, it comes out in a heap when I wash. I wish I could lose just 2 strand or so. I haven't counted the amount of strands but it seems like a lot

.

I don't know if this might help, but on my last wash I used Aubreys GPB (I went under the heat cap with it on, for about 20 mins.) and I lost almost NO hair at all during comb-out!! (And that's unusual, cuz I usually get a pretty good amount). You should give it a try if you haven't already!! It also made my hair feel really strong!!

Hi,
I shed alot when I have gone a while without a relaxer. I have noticed that my shedding decreases dramatically when i use Aphogee Damage hair Treatment. . Are you taking Vits?? MSM is good for softening the new growth so that your hair will not break as much from the different textures of your hair.

SURGE is a great to stop shedding. I would use a moisturizer immediately after applying...

Otherwise understand that shedding is normal and shouldn't last too long...

Thanks Lindy and mblake8, I use either joico kpac or redken's deep fuel and I still have that much shedding. I usually forget to take my vitamins

. I guess, I have to take them religiously now

Using Nioxin cleanser and scalp therapy normalizes my shedding. I haven't experienced the shedding that most do when the seasons change since using this. I like the fact that they use natural products in their formulas.

I only have shedding when stretching my relaxers and I use
Dudley DRC it helps.

MSM is definitely a thot. but anothr 1...be sure tht u rinse very very very well. sounds like your routine and prod are grt hand in hand w/the ACVs...but rinse well too so u don't have layers of build up. that may make a diff 4u....
