how do you guys deal with shedding? and are there any other methods that i didn't list?
Hair shedding and ways to decrease it
Some of those you post are questionable but some are just wrong: Shedding is quite natural as individual hairs come to the end of their lives and are replaced by others and you cannot stop that.
Of this lot:
◦Easy on the Brushing (run fingers through hair)
◦Don’t Brush When Hair is Wet
These may well reduce breakage, that is nothing to do with shedding.
◦Don’t Wash Your Hair so Often
May have an effect but more likely has potential to reduce breakage if you are rough.
◦Eat Healthy and Hydrate
◦Reduce Stress
◦Supplements (Castor Oil, Biotin, and lot of others)
◦Reduce Alcohol Intake and Smoking
◦Gently Massage Your Scalp
All variously wrong, save stress which can have an effect on hair. However that is a dramatic effect not minor routine losses so not really appropriate here.
However if following a routine makes an individual happy, let him get on with that. Each to his own but this is not a list to follow especially.
thanks for your input. however, i think your definition is hair shedding is different than mine.
yes, while hair shedding is a quite natural process, there are many factors that induce the quantity of how much you shed. how does breakage have nothing to do with shedding? the more "breakage" or damage your hair suffers, the more hair you will lose or shed.

Shedding is a natural process whilst breakage is caused by personal action, two very different things. Thus your comments on dieting (amongst others) are quite irrelevant to breakage. If you are covering both events then make the distinction clearly and not just mix them up randomly as you have. People can then take the advice on breakage which has some merit and ignore the rest which does not.
