My virgin relaxer in june 2012 with Mizani BB lye mild caused excessive shedding for about a month. Ive taken garlic for yrs and msm, but for the shedding I doubled my doses and also did tea and black coffee rinses. Used green, black, and chamomile teas. Applied my sulfur/herbal oil mix regularly, and left it alone, for low -manipulation styles are best for my hair. I was back to less than 7-10 hairs a day by Sept. Now I lose 0-5/day, but I dont comb daily so after a week, maybe 20 hairs are shed. No breakage is discernible.
I keep up tea rinses, scalp oiling and massages, taking garlic/msm/moringa/calcium/acai/prenatals (8.5 mos preggers)/chlorella, and stretching relaxers for body, scalp, and hair health. It is easier imo to prevent hair loss than stop it once it starts--at least for me it is. Hth
