I posted a while back about crazy frizzy, frumpy hair and got some suggestions regarding wavy hair methods. I am trying those out, but now I am losing handfuls of hair every time I shower.
Previously I was using Rosemary/rice water shampoo and conditioner bars, and pretreating my hair with fermented rice water, which I have successfully used before to regrow hair. With this routine my hair was dry and frizzy but I didn’t lose much.
Now I am still doing these, but I am also using a leave-in conditioner (Odele), and either a mousse (Not your mom’s) or a curl cream (Marc Anthony). Once a week I do an overnight castor oil mask. Then I plop my hair for a bit and let it air dry the rest of the way.
The moisture and texture of my hair have improved some (though still frizzier and crazier than I’d like. But I am losing so much hair. Any ideas what would cause that and what to do about it? I can imagine losing some after a castor oil mask because it is so heavy, but I’m losing a lot of hair all week long. Any help is appreciated!

I recently had some gut testing done that showed positive for C Diff. I’m confused though as my symptoms do not seem to match the diagnosis. I have struggled with fatigue, brain fog, and many other issues for years, with a vague diagnosis of an autoimmune disorder. I’ve been seeing a natural doctor to try to figure out how to deal with symptoms. After experiencing some ulcer-like symptoms (such as stomach pain and severe heartburn) we decided to try stool and saliva tests, which is when I got the diagnosis. I have almost never experienced diarrhea—and before this test it had been many years. I was in a course of antibiotics for almost a year when I was 2 years old, and my doctor wonders if the C Diff dates back to then (I am now 37).
Has anybody experienced lifelong C Diff, had any similar symptoms, or have any thoughts about this? The diagnosis just doesn’t seem to match my experience so I am not sure what to do with it. Thanks!!
