What kind of brush do you use? If it has little balls on the ends of the pins, it will break off the hair and if that's the case, that might be why you see so many hairs.
My girl has somewhat cottony hair and doesn't seem to lose any when I brush her. I use the CC gold brush. The pins don't have anyballs or roundy things on the ends. The ends aren't sharp, they are rounded off, just not like tiny litle balls. |
