How do I transition successfully without losing all of my hair in the process? Advice/tips.?

I've been transitioning to natural hair since February. I've never had trouble with breakage, but my hair was usually fragile after I permed it (during my perming days). It would take a few days for it to recover, but the fragileness was always there. As a protective style to help me transition, I did single braids last month. But before I did it, I washed my hair a day before and while washing it, I noticed it coming out a lot (this has never happened before). So I single braided it to get it out of my way and covered up. I took the braids out a few days ago and even though I got my mom to trim a good chunk of my hair before washing it, I still had a lot of breakage then too. So I just need advice on what I should do to transition successfully w/o losing all of my hair in the process. I've come a long way already and don't want to go back to perming. How often should I do protein treatments and what are good products to use? How about deep conditioning, moisturizing? Thanks.How do I transition successfully without losing all of my hair in the process? Advice/tips.?

sounds as if you have elasticity problems. first hair is at its most fragile state when wet. never brush then use a large tooth comb and start from the bottom. go easy do not pull at it. let it dry before braiding it less pressure on the shafts.trim it every 4 weeks use leave in conditioners everyone looses about 100 hairs a day this is normal shedding.you can over protein your hair it will go from bad to good to DRY AND BRITTLE really fast. just keep conditioning and trimming away the old perms
You seem to have a good routine going. As long as the braids are not done tightly. Your hair may just be trying to recover from the damage and is quite fraile. If you continue to have breakage, then you may want to see a dermatologist, it may be your scalp.
You do not want to risk losing all your hair, if you are experiencing ALOT of hair loss go see your doctor and pay a visit to a good hair salon so that they can see the condition of your hair and recommend something that will stop the breakage as well as prevent more breakage, we can not see the condition of your hair so we can not really recommend what to do or use. it could be one of many things causing this problem
I've found that when I don't wash my hair every day AND wear my hair up/back, it doesn't allow the normal daily shedding of hair that you probably wouldn't notice. That's why I'd see a bunch more hair come out when I'd shampoo and condition in the shower. I think it's perfectly normal. We all shed hair every day and when it's ';confined'; by a braid or hair-tie, it's hard for the scalp to let the hair fall out naturally.
