Ok I KNOW this has been covered before. I just can't find it. Help out the blonde here! :D
Just to give you a bit of background:
I recently changed my routine;
1) I use V05 Shampoo and conditioner; Moisture milks honeydew-- I used to use Tresseme so this is basically a change to no cones. I made this switch a month ago.
2) Also, about the same time I started taking a hair skin and nails multi-vitamin, and went back to using Monistat.
Now, my problem is shedding. If I comb (using fingers, or a wide tooth comb), either wet or dry I get a lot :confused: of hairs wrapped around my fingers.
This is ALOT worse if I actually rub my scalp at all. I am really gently when I rub my scalp. Even, if I use oils. I know it is average to lose about 100 hairs a day, but I never loose that many. That I notice anyways.
I freaked out this morning and inspected most of the hairs. Most had tapered ends, and a knob, bump type thing at the other end. I seem to remember this meant a natural shed and not a breakage. Is this right?
Most of these were really long, maybe they hit terminal and feel out? Does messageing the scalp make them fall out faster? Or am I just loosening ones that are ready anyways? I'm hopeing it's a spring shed and next month I'll be back to normal. I measured my ponytail circumference at the nap of my neck this morning while it was soaking wet and it was 4 inches.
Any support, advice ect. will be greatly appreciated.
