[Teja]

Alohaa,

Ive been having issues with my hair lately ... I've always noticed when my hair is not straight/flatironed I get so much more breakage but now its seriously out of control...when I brush it I have so much breakage lil pieces of hair all over the sink..I dont know if Im freaking out too much because I only detangle once a week and everytime hair comes out I freak...its like no hair is allowed to shed......I know thats ridiculous BUT I really dont know what to do !

Do you brush at all during the week? Not talking about detangling . . .

Hi, I think we're all looking for more details in order to help you:
- Are you relaxed/natural?
- What shampoo/conditioner/protein/moisturizer/detanglers are you using?
- What type of DC do you do (protein or moisture)?
- Do you use anything else besides coconut oil?
- Do you wrap your hair at night?
- Are you taking vitamins/supplements?
- Any life events (stress-inducing)?
- Have you considered detangling more than once a week?
