I got curlier hair as well....and didn't have any fall out the whole time, nor did I have to shave for a couple of months at a time! More grey hairs, too - lots more!
I thought I was going to be bald by the end of mine, I had to wash my hair every other day instead of every day. Every time I'd get in the shower, and worse when I washed it, I would l pull out handfuls of hair, at least 50 strands!!! I don't know how I didn't get bald spots.
