I wanna stretch but...

[TonicaG]

my hair is shedding like something crazy! I've tried various things i.e., garlic shampoo, deep conditioning but none of these things are helping.

What's a girl to do?

I just joined recently and am also trying to stretch. Right now I'm almost 6 weeks post (I just realized that! I just might be able to do this!). Since my last touchip, I've noticed a lot of shedding also, so today I'm going to try Motions CPR because I remembered it has helped me before. Have you ever used this? You said you have deep conditioned but have you tried any protein treatments? I'm sure the more experienced members can give you more info. I would like to know also.

Today is also the first day that I am going to wash and rollerset my hair on my own since joining, so wish me luck!

CPR is excellent for shedding and breakage. It did wonders for my hair after having double processed color put on my hair. I would be baldheaded without that stuff.

Buttaflye is right in regards to doing a protein treatment. Motions Critical Protection and Repair is a good treatment for breakage and shedding, or fantasia aloe/vitamin anti-breakage formula deep penetrating creme moisturizer for extra dry hair, or ors stimulator hair mayonaise. Some ladies use Aphogee treatments. I was their once shedding like crazy when I first started stretching. The first time I tried to stretch I only made it to 8 weeks because my hair start shedding and breaking but each time you stretch try to go a week longer until your hair gets use to stretching. First I stretched to 8 weeks then 9 weeks and I am now 10 weeks and doing great but overall try doing a protein treatment.HTH
