Anyone else Shedding like a CAT???????

[Lucky's Mom]

Boy - I am. Every time I put my hands near my head.... I get lots of strands.... From the Bulb.... no Breaks.

Maybe I am not use to this... I rarely flat iron... But! I don't rememeber this happening in May.....

Coffee and Garlicwill be my best friend this week...

 

[that_1_grrrl]

I think I am too. It's either shedding or breakage. I really hoping it's just shedding.

My is not breaking... Thank God.... Long Strands keep runnig away from my head!

I cannot control everything... and I am not used to it - I never comb my hair daily.

I've been shedding a lot. The garlic worked at first but it's getting bad again. I'm gonna try the tea first then the coffee and see how it works. If it keeps up I don't know what I'll do.

I am shedding quite a bit. Im not too worried about it though because my hair sheds with the seasons. I wonder if the garlic helps with seasonal shedding hmmmm....

Off Topic - Gorgeous baby!

On topic... I think that is what it is...Winter cold... and just the season.I don't notice it when my hair is in it curly kinky state.....

 

[lovleelilie]

I think it's the winter for me. (Well, that and transitioning. Sigh.) Are you in a cold climate?

 

[lovleelilie]

Umm, my bad, you're in Cali. What about vitamins? Are you taking any? Perhaps that might help? And lots of water? Just some thoughts.

Thank You that's my lil sweetheart
Hopefully some of our ladies who use garlic will chime in and let us know if it helps with seasonal shedding. If it does that would be awesome because I get tired of this darn shedding.

Well - I use Garlic....pretty frequently.... I just never noticed this kind of shedding...because I rarely flat iron.... I thought about doing it more often... but I might not now...

Yep, that's what I'm getting - long strands. I just haven't been able to see whether or not there's a white bulb at the end.

 

[Coffee]

Meow....even though I am in Arizona and our winters are fairly mild, I"m shedding too! I've tried garlic, tea, coffee and nothing seems to stop it. I can take comfort in the fact that I am not alone!

 

[KrimsonKween]

Yall I was so wondering what was going on. I even started counting mine about 20 everything I wash. I stopped combing and only comb to untangle after wash and i started bunin for 30days until my dh gets back to the states 2/2009.

I've heard the tea whispered about on the board. Which tea are you using?

Cinnamon and sole shampoo and conditioner work well for me....I have to warn you tho...cinnamon and sole work by tightening your scalp and new growth....your new growth will get kinkier...So if you are newly relaxed i wouldn't....

or use it without heat!!! with heat it gets kinkier the roots

 

[chebaby]

i was shedding like crazy earlier this month but it was becuase of this spray i was using on my scalp. i threw it away and now 3 weeks later i have no shedding.

 

[clever]

I've been shedding alot and I found out it was simply because my hair is getting longer.I'll bump the thread for you.

 

[NYAmicas]

I thought it was only breakage but its also shedding Im experiencing after I put some color in my hair. I dont know what to do and I feel so self-conscious with all these hairs coming out of my scalp everytime I breathe not to mention depressed.

 

[malachi74]

So Garlic is the key to stop shedding? I have been shedding the past couple of months (full strands, bulb attached) and I don't know what to do. My hair has just started to get to a place that I love and I don't want to loose all my progress. My hairs' not shorter or breaking but i assume there must be less on my head cuz of the shedding. It's unusual for me.

 

[naturallygoldie]

oh me ooh me ooh me!!!! sad too...everything was ok and then 1/1 i shed like a hairy dog it eased up sum tho...i think it's just seasonal

 

[SlantedEyezMiss2003]

Yeah I'm shedding, I'm using OCT/BeeMine mix, and I have been taking garlic supplements, but it hasn't helped, my shedding it white bulbs, so I guess that's ok, my hair is not thinning though, so that's good...

 

[Lucky's Mom]

Well Just to update.....
I mixed some crushed garlic into my prepoo this last week..... And I used coffee for my rinse... I was not impressed with the coffee - however...Back in her curly state... I did not experience any falling hair....

I have re-twisted a couple of times - and have not had any issues.

Garlic oil is KEY!!!!

 

[Blessed_Angel]

I used to shed like crazy. I tried a few remedies; nothing worked. Until I rinsed with cool water; or just spray it on my scalp after washing.

Pre-pooing or hot oil treatments plus deep conditioning seem to be my remedy for shedding during the winter months.

I prepoo ( and Have) for the last two years.

Maybe it was a fluke.

See I just started hot oil treatments on the regular. The shedding has not stopped completely but it has slowed down a lot. I think my hormones being out of whack may have contributed to my hair shedding. Or very dry hair. Who knows?

 

[Renewed1]

blackstrap molasses and EVOO weekly has helped stopped my insane shredding I've been experiencing all of December. Now its just a few strands everyday, other than that. I've been good.

 

[suburbanbushbabe]

I think it may be seasonal. I was shedding a lot this time last year and started diong garlic treatments and that helped. I used an entire package (12 cubes) of Trader Joes frozen pureed garlic in olive oil with a bit of honey

 

[Napp]

I though shedding was normal.I shed like crazy all the time. i stopped worrying about it as my hair is not thinning, i have no bald spots, and im retaining length.
