hi luvhair,
My shedding happened because my scalp was burned. My hairdresser shampoed twice before the process then she put the straightener (max strength) directly on my scalp and I think she left it in too long also... my scalp was on fire and I even have some small bald spots now. Also the newgrowth was dry, brittle and had a different texture, like tiny waves. My normal spiral texture returned again after 2 or 3 months but my hair still breaks at the point healthy new growth/scab hair :-(
My curls were medium size,about 3b. My regimen is simple:
In the morning: moisturize with my water/cond/glycerine/oil-mix, oil ends.
At night: sleep in satin bonnet.
CW every 4-5 days, deep con as needed, normally every 10 to 14 days. Sometimes protein con. Apply S-curl Lite Wave Gel, leave-in and oil and airdry.
My hair is usually very soft and moisturized.
