Please help me. My hair is shedding like crazy. I have very thin and fragile hair anyway. It is very fine. I know hair is supposed to shed some, but recently my hair has been coming out just from touching it. If I run my fingers through my hair, I will have a lot of strands in my hand. And forget combing it. I have to tell my daughter to come get all of the hair off of my back. It is getting so thin, you can see straight through it. My stylist just says it is supposed to shed. How often should I be getting a touch up? Some people say that when you don`t go ahead and get a touch up when you are supposed to, that will cause shedding. On the other hand people tell me I don`t need a touch for two months or so because of the grade of my hair. I have been getting it touched up every 6 weeks. Too much or not enough? My last stylist said every 4 or 5 weeks, 6 weeks was to long to wait and that was causing the shedding. But then someone told me overprocessing can cause excessive shedding. I am so confused, please help me!!! (it has grown some though in the last couple of months, but looks stringy)

Your retouches should be based on the amount of regrowth you have...Not the number of weeks that has gone by. As for the excessive shedding, I don`t know what the causes are. Maybe it`s your diet.
I hope this helps...
Take Care. :o)
