I don't have proof other than what I see in the mirror and the hairs I see on my sink are definitely shed hairs; my hair just seems so short and uneven. Yes, I do have new growth and dealing with a bit of shrinkage but c'mon! I just don't understand. I wear PS daily either a bun for the week or half wigs. I wonder what the heck is going on. 
I'll use my ApHogee 2 step this weekend then evaluate my hair's condition.

since I'll be straightening my hair then. 2" in four months!
I know that I'm overreacting but I believe my hair is breaking
you know our hair has its cycles, just like us, lol! 
@chasturner84, i am so sad to hear this!
many times during our journey, we will see our hair looking in a way we're not accustomed to seeing it simply because it's still in the "growing out and settling in" stage.
then to us, that looks awkward because it's new and different.
you've been ps'ing, but do you do that with wet and/or damp hair?
if so, that right there can accentuate the illusion of less hair, especially when hairs are at different lengths and playing "catch up".
what's really a positive indication of how your hair is doing is what you are finding in the sink.....shed hairs, NOT broken hairs.
maybe this is the season for your new hairs to come in fresh and healthy to replace those shed hairs!
i'm glad you're staying on the ball with your protein/moisture balance and you might want to step it up a bit just to compensate for all the bunning.
i think it's a good idea to take a look to see your hair dry and straight just to check that it's alright, but can you do that without heat sugar?
your hair is growing so beautifully that if you can avoid the heat, it's always good! besides, i don't want any heat messing with that gawgeous ponytail i love seeing!
when i absolutely cannot go any longer without "seeing" my hair, i wrap it just to get it flat and straight enough to assess.
oh, also, remember that hairnorexia is a common and serious problem with the ladies on here (myself included!). once we "get used to seeing our hair at a certain length" it starts looking short and scraggly, but trust me my friend, IT IS AN OPTICAL ILLUSION!
before deciding that your hair has really gone wrong, wait and see how it is after some treatments and maybe the dry/straight assessment.
by all means, please keep us posted so we can help you get through this sweetie pie!
hugs!
thanks for keeping us posted!
@chasturner84, i meant to aslo ask you: how often are you doing your treatments?
i've noticed that when i don't do at least 2 dc treatments a week, my hair starts feeling iffy...then icky.
also, i am soooooo relieved to know you won't be going near the heat anytime soon! whew!
and the shrinkage I'm dealing with isn't helping. I haven't exactly seen my hair completely dry and straight because I bun while damp (not wet) and usually leave it up until I shampoo again. Yeah, I'm lazy. 
He would have been:
Sadly, I left them last night, but we will be reunited today!!!!!
