Wow, I can't imagine how tough that must have been losing so much hair after having children. It's interesting you mention the difference between straight and curly hair shedding, and I've definitely noticed a similar issue, especially when detangling in the past. However, even after cutting my hair short, it's still falling out quite a bit even without detangling. It's hard to pinpoint the cause; I've been considering stress from school, but it happens even during breaks. My sleep schedule isn't the best, and while I try to eat healthy, I do have moments of craving soft drinks and sweets. It's all a bit confusing, honestly. Have you found any specific remedies or practices that have helped you manage this shedding issue?
