I made a post about braid shedding quite a few months back, however this time round I felt like I was gonna go bald, my hair is pretty much straight and usually I detangle and condition my hair every 3 days, the shedding is like maybe 3-5% of that pile on the photo

I had my braids done for about a week and a half. My braids were maintained pretty good, this time when taking them out I combed out my hair dry from the ends slowly making my way to the root, when I did it wet the first time it matted, this time it felt alright tbh, came out easily, however I felt like I shed WAY more then the first time. These braids were probably a little more tighter but nothing too extreme.

Is this normal for just that short time frame?
