At WITS END Help 4C transitioning hair

Please ladies please help i am at my wits end and i am starting to chop off my hair.....i have 4c transitioning hair...the rest of my hair is texlaxed....after two whole months of being in braids i decided to blow-dry my hair i did everything right but my texlaxed hair is going nuts.....in may i started experiencing heavy shedding i don't know if its postpartum or what but its now November and my shedding has not stopped or slowed and its making everything so hard!!!!! my hair mats and tangles so bad and it's because of the trapped shed hair that i have resorted to just cutting it away. I am trying to transition 18 months but i don't think i will make it what can i do i am so discouraged because i don't want to BC yet.

I concur with the advise that swift provided you with.

I would strengthen your hair strands immediately to keep from shedding so much. The aphogee 2 step is a the best. After you strengthen then DC with a good moisturizing conditioner using heat. Blast your strands with Deep conditioning treatments every 3 days for nine days after your protein treatment. Increase your multi vitamins to try and combat some of what the baby took from you. If you can take a magnesium supplement, if you do not have any health issues or breast feeding. Many times our bodies stay depleted of magnesium. This supplement is a overall miracle and it is so cheap...........Once you Deep Condition your hair apply a leave in I recommend Cantu leave in damage hair conditioner. It is thick, inexpensive and it works great. Put your hair in a style in which you do not have to style it for at least 3 days until the next deep conditioning treatment. Once you complete the 10 day deep conditioning moisturizing treatment (should you choose to try this) then because you are stressed about your hair, I would put it in a style that requires no daily manipulation. The best thing you can do is to stop stressing, because stress makes it worst. I would also recommend Qhmet Biologics soft bush gel and their conditioners their products are great for transitioners. You must order their products online, though. I also recommend shea moisture. Blessings!!!!!!

veemack-my hair is shedding no breakage with white bulbs ive come to the conclusion my hair hates protein except the aphrogee 2min for some reason that makes my hair incredibly soft...but i will look into Qhmet Biologics

 swift-i will check out the transitioning thread because i think it would be more help to wash my hair in braids....any ideas how to stretch out my hair w/o blowdrying??

yaya24- too funny lol hey i made it this far

**Sk!TtLeS B**- i will try garlic supplements....anything to make this transition easier what brand would you suggest

I normally stretch for 6 months at a time with no problems...this shedding has made things worse to the point i don't want to put anything in my hair for fear of matting and knots...
