I have really thick hair but I got a perm! My hair is legitally shedding...I run my hand through my hair and strands come out?! Is this normal? What is going on? How can I stop this? My hair isn't damaged but rather...shedding? Not breaking but shedding.

Several things it could be your hair getting use to the perm. Or could be stress. There is more than just the obvious perm. I'd call your salon and ask if it's normal for your hair to do that!

Could be because of the perm, but I don't know for sure. I have thick curly hair & I shed like crazy all the time. I'd call & ask like Meagan suggested.

It's breakage. I bleached my hair and that happened a little bit to me. Try using a protein treatment. I like the Joico K-Pak Reconstructor. After your hair get better use the joico about once a week and a more moisturizing treatment as well. So a total of two different treatments a week. For moisture I really like the Paul Mitchell Super-Charged Moisturizer

Indeed..you are probably seeing breakage. Hair Masques and natural oils..in addition to grabbing a wet brush would help. Wet Brushes don't snag and are ever so gentle on processed hair.

Has your hair been shedding before you got the perm or did it start after?
If it started before you got the perm maybe stress or even your diet could play a role. If it started after the perm then it might be the perm solution. I work at a salon and I never try to recommend a perm because it takes a toll on the hair. It is very damaging. That might not be shedding it might just be a lot of breakage that you are experiencing.
