Phew!! Thank you for this video! I've felt a little nervous about the shedding, now I know is normal!

I do have a question though: How can I easily section my hair when I have different textures? Because I feel like this makes me shed A LOT of those short hairs when I'm detangling.

I feel like as of lately that my hair has been coming out more. I went to see my dermatologist and he said nothing looked out of the ordinary ( kind you he looked at my scalp for a second) and he told me it could be my birth control causing the extra shedding. So he prescribed me a special shampoo to use on my hair that’s suppose to help clear my scalp and strength my hair. I think it’s for people with alopecia. And he said I didn’t have that but that the shampoo would just help stop the extra shedding. I had one day when I was combing my hair with a non curly friendly comb and a lot of hair came out. But also it had been like 3-4 days since I had washed it too. So idk if what’s going on is normal.
Also on my part I’ve noticed like a tiny bald spot and idk if that’s normal either. Maybe I’ve just been parting my hair weird and that’s what caused it or when I braid it I pull on that section in some weird way? Idk but I’m kinda scared. I’ve been drinking a lot of water and kale and spinach smoothies for breakfast. I take biotin b12 fish oil and sometimes I take zinc too. And I do one week protein mask ( with one egg and caster oil) then one week hot oil leave in mask for like 30 mins. Hopefully it’s just my anxiety making me think I’m shedding a lot and I’m okay.

Did it get better?

Hopefully they explain the purpose why we shed. I don't mean taking about our hair cycle.

Isn’t this girl Christina the girl who works for Ingrid Nielsen ?

Literally the first in the series that is based somewhat in actual science. Approach this series with caution, researching before you physically apply to your routine. I’m sure that Naturally Curly has the best possible intentions, however most of what I have seen in this series is not based in verifiable scientific fact and instead is more about what is popular ‘fact’ in the mainstream curly community. I have a hard time with the ‘Hair Science’ title. If the series were given a different name, I would see it a lot differently.
