Please help with my hair!
Over the last 18 months my hair has thinned noticeably. I’m now getting bald patches in addition to overall thinning. Went to my GP last year, he ran bloods, all normal, that was the end of that.
But in addition, what hair I do have is so ridiculously dry. It’s like straw, and the static is unreal at times.
I’ve tried a lot of different shampoos and conditioners, but nothing’s helped either the hair loss or the dryness. I take biotin and other supplements, and get a decent amount of protein every day. Tbh I’m getting fed up of wasting money on things that say they’ll help but don’t.
I’m now trying to accept that the hair loss is not going away, so want to concentrate on helping what hair I do have.
I’ve never dyed my hair or used heat on it (don’t blow dry, never straightened etc). Now I’m getting more & more greys, I’d love to dye it, but I’m terrified it’d cause me to lose even more hair, so won’t! It’s mid-back length at the moment - used to be longer but I had to cut it last year. I really, really don’t want to cut it any more, even though the ends are very straggly.
I’m pretty clueless with haircare - until last year I largely ignored my hair and it was great - long, smooth, soft. I’ve been trying to research, but there’s so much out there it’s hard to differentiate truth from marketing.
Can anyone help with recommendations for how to help my straw-dry hair?
