Losing hair

Guys, I need some help!

I know that shedding is normal and that you lose 50-100 hairs a day BUT.....this here ain't normal. Back in my hair abusing days i could not have cared less about the handful of hair staring back at me from the corner of the tub but now that I give a $#$&, I am pissed. All month I have been protective styling it, oiling it up and covering my head at night. I take a multivitamin, a hair and nail vitamin, a B-12 and D vitamin everyday.

I do have some color damage I know that but is this really cool? How much hair do you guys lose when styling or detangling? I just want to get an idea of what is normal.

  1. I would be freaking out too! To answer your question tho my hair sheds pretty evenly every week. Maybe about a quarter size every week, thats just counting when I detangle not the hairs that fall out daily. Is the shed hair the colored hair? and also is this extreme shedding something new?

  2. It's not new, and I guess it has been a bit better since I quit torturing my hair. I lose about a palm size of hair every time I detangle. I did a henna treatment last week and that felt great! i think I'm going to stick to that as far as color from now on and tone it down, maybe a couple of time a year if that. I don't use shampoo and only co wash every two weeks now. I think I might need to do a mini chop before I put my yarn braids in in January.
