Why does my hair shed/break so much when I wash?

[SleepyJean]

I don't understand. During the week, my hair sheds like it normally would, BUT on wash day... My hair sheds like crazy...and sometimes breaks. I do not maipulate my hair roughly. I am not in the midst of a big ole' stretch. It just sheds....and breaks on washday.

Do you moisturize your hair regularly, and after seal with oil? Sometimes if you use to much products in your hair it cause way too much breaking because too much products is just as bad as not enough. If you are heavy handed with products than just put it on at night and not twice a day. Maybe you are out of balance with the protein/moisture. I know my hair loves more moisture than protein. You really have to listen to your hair because what may work for someone else may not work for you!
