Black Hair Care: I was wondering if any one knew the difference between hair shedding and hair comin

Can someone also explain to me how to glue in hair tracks? I was also wondering how often should I wash my hair?

If you look closesly at the hair, you will see a white bulb at the tip of the hair... that is Shedding.

If you dont see it that is breakage. Breakage hair varies in lenght . While hair shedding tend to be longer lenght.

To stlow down /stop shedding using unscented garlic shampoo and conditioner.

For breakage you will either have to take protein if you hair is too soft (you moisturized it too much ) or If you hair is dry and brittle then use a moisturising conditioner and shampoo. such as cream of nature.

Shedding is when the hair naturally falls out (like when a dog's hair sheds). Most of the time that means that new hair is taking its place. Hair that "comes out" without the white bulb like the first advisor said, is breakage.

From http://www.naughtysecretaryclub.com/exte...

"Place a thin line of glue along the seam of the hair. Next you are going to place the hair with the glue right below the part. Hold in it in place for about 30 seconds until glue has dried. Once the glue has dried make another horizontal part about an inch below and repeat the steps above. 3 or possibly 4 tracks should be sufficient for the sides of your head. You don閳ユ獩 want too many on the sides or you may end up looking a little hydrocephalic.

You will possibly use up to 5 or 6 for the back of your head. Your hair tends to be naturally fuller in the back. Now the back of the head is a little trickier since you cant exactly see what you are doing. You may want a friend to be involved to help you place hair directly below the part.

Your new luscious locks will stay in for at least a couple of days. They don閳ユ獩 necessarily with stand a hair washing so as long as you don閳ユ獩 wash your hair they should stay in place. When you are ready to remove them just apply the hair glue remover on your roots for about 20 minutes and the tracks will come right out"

Without glue, most of my black friends wash their hair anywhere from once a week to once a month at most.

good luck!

First off I agree with Adfvicerperson's response on shedding and hair breakage. But in reference to glue and how often you should shampoo. The most common answer for shampooing is weekly for black women. That's what I do. Now as far as glueing. First you want to slick your hair back and down. Mold it with a good super hold brown gel. Or sometimes people leave part of their own hair out. Look at the link below. Buy bonding glue at beauty supply stores selling black hair care products. It is applied to the weft of the weave hair. You need to precut your weft by measuring it against your head. For instance imagine taking a shoe string and placing one end on the left of your temple and laying it across the back of your head until the other end reaches your right temple. If the string is too long cut the remaining string. This is what you would do with your hair weave. Then you apply the glue to the weft and stick it to your hair. You want to hold it in place and also use a blow dryer to help the adhesive hold. Place the tracks a few inches apart. This can last up to 2 weeks. You CANNOT shampoo your hair with the tracks in. To remove them get a friend to help. Purchase glue remover and glue remover SHAMPOO- this helps to wash out the glue residue after all of the tracks are out. Unfortunately that's as detailed as I can get. Check out the link below. This is a tough subject to research on the internet. I'll tell you how I first learned to do this. I went to a salon and had them do it first ($65 not including the hair- get 2 packs) then I could tell what they were doing and now I do it at home myself. The link below shows you with pictures what I've tried to explain to you. Look under the section for "bonding" click on the picture on the right hand side. Good Luck. Practice makes perfect and it is a bit messy.
