Help!! Breakage and Shedding-Maybe Both!!

[jnicole]

This past weekend I did a rollerset and a wrap. My hair came out perfect. The only problem I'm having is breakage and or shedding way more than usual. I didn't seem to have this problem before this weekend. I washed with Keracare detangling shampoo, used the ORS Mayo for protein, then used the ORS replinishing pack, then the Keracare Humecto. I've done these steps before with no problem. For a leave in I used NTM silk touch leave in and NTM healing shine serum, then rollerset. One thing I did do differently was I colored my hair using Bigen oriental black. My hair came out so soft and bouncy and healthy looking but this breakage and or shedding is kind of worrying me. When I go to wrap my hair before bed there's hair everywhere. It kind of sounds like my hair is snapping, but it's still very soft and doesn't seem dry. What could this be from? I was making pretty good progress with the health and growth, now I don't know.

Sounds like you need more protein!
Try APhogee... you have to be careful
or else search the threads for other
protein treatment try Keraphixx if
you're not ready for Aphogee.

check the strands that come out of your head. do they have little white bulbs at the end? if so, you are shedding. but if you said that you are hearing snapping sounds when you comb, that def sounds like breakage! i would do a good protein treatment, and that should make it better. when i used to use ors products, i realized that it was a major source of my shedding. when my hair was wet my hand would be covered in little hairs. some good proteins are the nexxus emergencee, aphogee, regis protein boost treatment. it could be that the color broke some chemical bonds, causing damage/weakness to your hair. on top of a relaxer, a coloring can do some damage! was it permanant? in any case, the protein should help to restore your hairs elasticity!

I've been checking for the little white bulbs on the ends because the hairs are pretty long, but they don't have the white bulbs. The Bigen is permanant but it doesnt have any ammonia or peroxide in it so i didn't think it would have done any harm. I guess I'll just try the Aphogee proteing treatment.
