Awful Hair

I’ve always had loads of hair until the last 3-4 years. Now it’s brittle, thin, breaks and just looks dry.
I have to colour it (roots mainly - each to their own but I do not want to be grey). I have it cut regularly. I take biotin. Any ideas, I’m 51.

Add collagen to the biotin. I’m seeing a huge difference with marine collagen (tried bovine but I notice a difference with marine). Plus a good hair cut.

I like ancient and brave wild collagen. I’m a total cynic but all my friends started taking it and my skin was my biggest concern. I was a complete sheep and tried a jar, thinking I’d try it and not bother with more. I’ve never noticed a difference from a supplement like this, I’m genuine impressed with my skin and hair. Bovine was discounted so I swapped to that then back to marine and have concluded the “wild collagen” marine one works better for me.

I also use John Frieda volume lift shampoo and conditioner, which I really like plus Wow products.

Marine collagen is for hair and skin, and bovine is for joints.

Wish I had the answer. I'm also early 50s with hair like straw.
I've tried biotin, collagen, different products, etc and nothing works so far.
But as it's cold maybe I can just wear a hat all winter!?😆
