I wear my hair in the same style 99 percent of the time. It hasn't bothered my hair in any way. If it's regular shedding, it'll stop in time. I make sure my hair is free of tangles prior to stepping in the shower to shampoo my hair. I also don't pile my hair on top of my head during shampoo time. I make sure my hair stays hanging down, and I concentrate on getting my scalp nice and clean (not disturbing my hair much at all). These things always help me out. Oh yeah, make sure you use a conditioner that has great detangling properties (for your hair).
