Dewooling of the coat ensures that you'll have less hair in your house short term. Great, you would think?! Unfortunately, the intensive dewooling (of hair that isn't ready to fall out) ensures that you are just going to stimulate the coat to grow back quickly. The coat of the cat has important functions such as protection against mechanical damage, but also for example, to maintain its temperature.
However, the hairs that will grow back are of lower quality. The hair buds from which the hair grows are damaged by the "pull". They no longer have enough nutrition for a "strong" hair in the short term. As a result, these will also tangle up faster. This will make you want to comb even more and you'll end up in a spiral in which the quality of the coat continues to deteriorate.
You'll then start an extra intensive shedding period. The hairs will fall out more and more all at once. Normally this happens in phases with peaks in spring and summer. You run the risk of ending up in a constant, more intensive shed. The cat may therefore no longer be able to take care of her own coat and swallow more hair than she can process.
