HELP...I keep finding 3-4 inch broken off pieces of hair!

[zzirvingj]

I had a paddle brush with the pins...darn thing was ripping my hair out and I just kept using it and using it...I finally threw it away.

What do you use in place of it?

yep,I think you just pinpointed your problem...i had one of these,tore my hair to pieces 2yrs ago (of course,before i joined LHCF)...btw,your hair is beautiful

Thanks! So what are you using in place of the paddle brush.

For any of ya'll who USED to use a paddle brush, what do you use now to detangle with? Just a wide-toothed comb...?

How are things going? I read your update, but I must have gotten distracted because I didn't respond.... I realllllly think that those 'weak' hairs might be a result of stress from your brush - which would explain why they frayed so easily, if they were alreay sliced & diced by the brush. Checking out this thread for real has me almost ready to drop almost 100 bucks on new styling tools. *sigh*

And I think - are the short hairs REALLLLY fine? I've seen shed hairs (though my hair is no where NEAR as long as yours) that are about 1/2 to 1/4 inch - SUPER fine - but with the bulb on the end. On my optimistic days, I figure that my folli is about to produce a much stronger, better, hair, and that's why the shed of a short one. On my miserable days, I think that I've just broken it off that short before it shed/or it's shedding from my hairline because I have early balding (which I SO don't! )

HEY JustKiya!

To answer your question, no the hairs are not really fine. But they came off of a really fine woman...does that count..?

J/K!!

No but really...I saw a reallly fine broken off hair the other week---just ONE of them, though. And like you said it did have the little white bulb on it. But most of these hairs are not like that.
