So I recently re-cut my hair due to some issues. I have extremely curly hair to where it likes to knot up on itself. I don't know how to combat that I put conditioner in so it helps but I still find small ( really really small) knots on strands of hair. Help? Also any tips on shedding? I've been deeep conditioning, protein masks, use aloe, hot oil treatments and still my hair sheds ... any tips or pointers. I have a mix between 4b&c; hair.

What it use to look like:

Now it's a tapered cut
