See most probably your kitten is saying bye byr to baby fur and actual coat will replace these. Very natural process. Will subside after a while. However, trimming aur removing coat is not recommended. You can groom him regularly to remove loose hair and this will decrease random shedding around the house to some level.

Regular grooming and supplements will help in this issue. Trimming is fine for pets with long coats, but don't shave or make it zero.
