I have the same problem when I comb my hair. But, I would guess it is from over-heating hair or using the wrong products. ------------- 4b-natural,shoulder blade length,hair goal of to my bra strap

What's your hair routine dncamp, what products do you use? The hairs that your finding do the they have bulbs on the end or are they short pieces? We will need more information so we give you the right advise  ------------- http://public.fotki.com/blackhoney112/hair_album/101505_.html - Hair album pw:Romeo |

I agree w/ blackhoney. Knowing your routine & what prods you use will b helpful. Could be normal shedding or it could be breakage from heat styling, too much protein, not enuf moisture, etc. I know the feeling.. seeing those hairs coming out can be stressful. I'm sure you'll get great sugg/advice once you post more info. ------------- ~~  LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE!~~

I am soooo sorry ladies for just getting back to you. The hairs that I am finding are breaking (no white bulbs on the ends). I really do not have a so-called hair regimen; I just do what I do. I do not use any heat whatsoever. I am trying to do more co-washes to keep my hair moisturized during the winter months, but I am searching for a daily moisturizer that is not too heavy. I am thinking about braiding it up for a few months to give it and myself a much needed break. I am still open for suggestions until then. ------------- LOVE YA BUT A SISTA GOTTA GO |

Since u use no heat and it seems like u MAY have enough moisture u may need protein,, u could try Nexxus Emergencee or K-pak or Nexxus Keraphix which is a lighter protein but always make sure u follow up with a deep moisturizing conditioner..... ohh and a good daily moisturizer is phyto9 but thats expensive so u could try carrot oil or safflower oil... ------------- Hair type: 3b some c?, fine strands, last relaxer sept 05, never again!!! current :ap length on sides,,nearly bsl in back, damn those old frazzled ends!

I noticed that you mentioned doing more co-washes now. I don't know if that could be the cause of breakage for you, but it was for me! I tried this summer to do daily co-washes but found it was not for me at all. I got more breakage than when I did my normal regimen so I had to cut those out and go back to my usual routine. The breakage stopped soon after I switched back. I think my hair was getting too much moisture and became too soft and mushy, thus causing breakage. ------------- ~~ LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE!~~
