Advice needed: I am losing a lot of hair due to stress. I’m trying to get in to my doctor, but it’s going to a bit. Any advice for how to improve the strength? There’s no heat or chemical damage. My hair is fine, long, and I have a lot of it normally.

Strength of your hair- I’ve been using biotin for years and it has helped. Collagen may help, as well. I do monthly (one time a month) protein or keratin treatments, and these help a lot. If you can wash your hair less, that would also help. According to Google- iron and zinc rich foods will help as well. I wish you the absolute best on this journey, and I’m sorry you’re having to go through this. 🫶

You can lower your stress (cortisol) with ashwaghanda supplements. I used to take them but I can’t anymore because of a medication that would react poorly with it, but it did wonders for me when I was taking it. It can also help with acne, sleep, and other stress-related issues!

Castor and biotin and coconut oil.

Also FYI the medication in question is sprionolactone. Most meds don’t interact with it at all but spiro is weird, it also causes a bad reaction with grapefruit and potassium so more than likely you’d be fine with the supplement. Never a bad idea to check beforehand though :)
