How many hairs do you get when you detangle/wash? Do you count?

[SleepyJean]

I know there is a thread similar to this, but I want to know specifically when you wash. I was listening to some of the responses, and it made me nervous. I've never count my hairs in my comb, because I thought it was pointless. You are always going to have somehairs in the comb when you detangle, right? Am I not suppose to have any or just like five or something? When I wash I never count, because most of them go down the drain ne ways. It's basically the same amount in the comb as when I detangle, though. I need some guidance and support before I get nervous.

bump...please answer. Am I just not important or something?

I don't count the hairs on my comb, I think it'd depress me , especially since I notice my hair sheds more in the summer for some reason. One thing for sure though and that is the hair that is in my comb are long hairs and not short. So I feel that it is at least shedding and not breaking. I also notice that since I don't comb my hair during the week, it'll just shed without me even combing it, it'll be on the chair I was sitting in or whereever, not a whole lot but a few hairs here and there. So I guess irregardless of you combing it or not, every hair must have a timetable to be released from the scalp. And my hair is still very thick so I guess it' s normal . Oh and the crown and glory method of washing it has helped me minimize shedding as well....hopes this helps.

I know that I get more than what most ladies on here say they get. I usually detangle my hair and put it into four sections. Then I wash and condition it is sections. Then I braid it up. I leave it in braids for a day or two...then rock th braid out for 4-5days. I wet it in the 6th day and put a head band on (results in really elgongated curls)...and then at the end of day 7, I detangle. When I detangle I would say that I would have...

TTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHH
TTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHH
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSSS

much hair when its mushed together.
ETA: When I look at the hairs, for the most part they are shed hairs with the white bulbs at the ends.

Yeah, i was actually talking about breakage in the other thread, thats why the numbers were so small ( 5 and 10 and things)

You mainly are always going to have long hairs in the comb when you detangle---Just keep an eye on making sure that your hair doesnt get thicker, that the rate looks about the same each time, and if you are using alot of manipualtion while combing and detangling to balance it off by leaving it alone more during the week
