Thanks Paul, as always great points and advice. I'm not sure what happened as far as excessive shedding. All of a sudden bout 2 or so weeks ago hair just started coming out in droves. Whole right side of head pretty much just lace now. I would have to think its from your point on dryness and breaking off. I have not shampooed the hair excessively, usually once a week, I have used a pomade but very infrequently, usually just use a bit of Brylcreem for taming the fly aways and the enhance conditioner. I bought Organix serum to try to combat the dryness which i have only applied once, bought satin pillow cases yet hair became very dry and just started falling out. Figured I would give the knot sealer a shot this go around.
