Hmmm...shouldn`t shed like that at all.... is the hair breaking/snapping off ? If it`s shedding, you`ll see the little curl/knot at the end of the hair if the knots are becoming undone. Normally dryness causes the hair to become brittle and break..leave-in conditioner is advisable.... have you been shampooing frequently? Certainly that level of shedding is not normal at all.... it`s hard to give an exact answer but that level of hair loss is not right at all. Did you apply knot-sealer ?
