Imma claim it...

[onejamifan]

so I can cut it. Yep, ladies, I am officially going to claim HBL so that I can cut my hair when I get my next touch up this coming weekend. I am experiencing some shedding and breakage and I really don't have the time and patience to sit under the dryer for 2 hours, so I am going to cut off some of the length in order to make it easier for me to handle my hair. I hope to be able to go another 15-16 months without cutting and maybe by then I'll be full HBL.

Thanks for all your help and support and I do hope to find the answer as to why my hair is shedding so much and why I am getting breakage as well. And because this thread is worthless with out pics, here is a pic of my hair after I took down the rollers (90% dry) and brushed my hair out. The other pic is what came out while washing my hair today

Your hair is very pretty, Congrads on reaching hl. Is that the comb you use to comb your hair?

 

[FlowerHair]

Yay! You are definately hip length

Cut it if you want, but that shedding is nothing to talk about. How about two such "balls" of hair every time I wash my hair But I don't brush or comb during the week, so...

Your hair is very pretty!

 

[Saffirejuiliet]

Your hair looks great! You look like you made HL to me. I am sure your hair cut will be lovely. Make sure you post pics of the haircut.

Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous! Sorry I have nothing useful to say but your hair is wonderful.

 

[Denise11]

Maybe it's the little comb that's causing breakage.

 

[runwaydream]

that shedding is nothing if you ask me.

how short are you cutting it

 

[curlcomplexity]

I don't think she's combing with the rattail comb....i'm sure it's there for reference.

CONGRATS on making HL!!!!!!

I get an amount of shed hair siimilar to that...but I only comb my hair every week or so as well

 

[Carrie A]

Lovely length!!!

 

[onejamifan]

I use the comb to do my rollersets but I comb with a regular wide toothed one. I'll probably cut it to BSL or MBL and take it from there. Thanks again ladies for your support.

Congrats! You definitely look HBL to me! Lovely!

About the breakage and shedding, are you taking any meds? Do you have an iron defeciency or a thyroid problem?

 

[mkd]

Your hair is beautiful. That does not look like a whole lot of hair to me but you of course know your hair best.

[Lovelylocs]

Congratulations!!!

I comb my hair with a rattail and I love it!!! lol

 

[Highly Favored8]

Very nice. That is what I want to do when I hit full BSL and do a nice trim.

Congratulations.

 

[msa]

Oh my!

Congratulations.

I wouldn't worry about the shedding. Shedding is normal and natural (50-100 hairs per day is average). If it's causing serious thinning or bald spots, then check with your doctor or evaluate your diet and meds.
