I would like to know if you ever found an answer for your hair loss problem. I too am experiencing the same type of problem and realize I must be chemical free for a while, as well as braid free. In the mean time what to do with my hair is a problem I am at a lost to deal with. I cut most of my ends off because of chemical damage as well as lost in the crown of my head. So my hair is very short. Please respond.
