One thing that might work is making sure that your scalp and your hair roots are moisturized. Try some conditioner-only washes for a while. I'd say, about two weeks straight? Maybe your shampoo is drying your scalp out. Also, try finger-combing your hair more as opposed to using an actual comb. Perhaps, this will give you root more time to decide if it really wants to come out or not
(lol...I have no idea if that's true...)
Anyway...all these recommendations are based on assumptions of you following the average black woman's regimen.
Why don't you post your regimen
