Besides upping your deep conditioining treatments using heat, here's something else you may consider doing as well:

You can switch to only detangling your hair (with a wide toothed comb )when it has conditioner in it only. And, then after rinsing out the conditioner you would section off your hair. Next, you would take your first section, spray it with Curls Quenched, use your fingers to detangle, and after detangling you would just apply your styling product of choice to this section (making sure to throughly smooth it through). After completing the first section, you would just move on to another section and repeat the same step. When you have finished applying product to your whole head then you would scrunch your hair all over, in order to better enhance your hair's texture.

Also, I did mention that I only detangle my hair once a week after I wash and conditioner my hair. So, if you can try going from 2 days a week washing your hair down to 1, this would cut amount of times that you detangle your hair on weekly basis. And, in turn this should help with your increased shedding problems.

I honestly feel that the increased shedding that you are receiving is due to your hair going through a period of transitioning and also due to the amount of times a week that you detangle your hair. Also, I am not sure of what type of comb or brush you use for detangling your hair. As, the detangling tools you use can also play a part in the amount of shedding you are getting. Now, I have already stated that i use a MEBCO Detangling Comb and Denman No. 4 Brush for detangling my hair with. I have personally found that this particular comb doesn't rip my hair out like some others I have tried. I detangle my hair first while I have loads of conditioner in it. And, then I do a second detangling of my hair using a brush, while my hair is soaking wet.

Hopefully, this information will be of more help to you!
