So, this is my second shedding thread already... I'd opened another one a few months ago asking to hear people's successes in reducing their shedding. I will look back at that thread to check out some possible things to try, but first I figured I should try the most basic thing of all... changing my shampoo.
I read ktani's article about shedding, and there was a brief mention on there about certain shampoos clogging the pores on our scalps and increasing shedding. Before I try anything else, I figured I should start by changing my shampoo and seeing if that helps at all.
Have any of you seen increased shedding from a certain shampoo, or been able to decrease your shedding by switching shampoos? Do tell... and name the products, too.
I don't really believe that this is my issue, since I've been shedding a lot since I can remember (it must have been at least 5 years), and I've only been using my current shampoo for around 2 years. But I do think my shedding has increased over the past few years, and especially over the past few months, though the latter might be my impression because over the past few months I went from washing my hair 2-3 times a week to washing it just once a week, and I've been wearing it up very often, so I'm sure a lot of sheds just hang around until wash day.
So in my case it's very unlikely that it's the shampoo, but I really do think I should check that first before I try anything else.
