How do you know when you've had a set back?

[leona2025]

Right now my hair is really dry and shedding. I haven't got to really do my hair in about 2 weeks and since Thursday I have been bunning and not detangling or protecting my hair at all because I have been so tired from moving. Then to add on to that I had to go to hospital here I found I had a kidney infection and strained muscle. I am shedding more than every, but I'm wondering could this be just the result of not having detangled and the shedded hairs are just being removed or am I having a setback? It's normal to loose up to 100 hairs a day so I could loose 600 hairs and that be normal? I think I've lost about 100, but I'm use to only loosing 15 to 40 a day.

I call anything involving dryness that leads to damage, damage in general, anything leading to hair loss or anything leading to me needing to cut more than what I call
a trim a setback. If it can be easily reversed its not a setback to me.


I'm sorry to hear about your situation are you having stress or hormonal issues?

Ditto Ms. Portugal. Right now, I'm in the midst of a setback and i have no idea why.

But yeah, dry, lacking moisture and breakage (and shedding.)
