Oh I see my Bulb..Thank you its just Shedding!!!
Well moisture, trimming ends and putting hair in protective styles that are low manipulative will help stop breakage.
Protective styling is also great for allowing your hair to grow. The less we put our hands in our hair the more of a break you are giving your hair and allowing it to grow.
Now when it comes to shedding when you unravel your protective style there may be lots of hair shedding.
DONT FREAK OUT.......This is expected to happen. WHY well think about it we loose 50-100 sheds a day. Now if you have a protective style and hold it for 2 weeks, 3 weeks thats 700 sheds for 2 weeks or 1050 sheds for 3 weeks. So that big ball you get when you unravel your hair. Its ok that is just normal.
Now a quick note how to determine breakage from shedding is important but quick and easy.
Take a Black paper, black clothe anything and you are going to look for the bud on the end of the hair. Because it is slightly white but transparent it is easier to find on a black background.
If you find the Bulb on the end of the hair like the above diagram congrats its just shedding which again is natural and will occur.
But if you find split ends, broken pieces of hair then its breakage and the amount of breakage is important. It will let you know if hey I need a trim or OH NO THERE IS SOMETHING VERY SERIOUS GOING ON HERE.
I would recommend you read my following blog post about Hair breakage. If the Matter is just too serious and you alone are unable to fix the issue I recommend you find a well educated Natural hair stylist to help you find a regimen that will put you back on the path of a Healthy hair journey.
