Weak hair

My hair has always been very fine and thin. Recently though it's much worse with breaking off at only an inch or so. I've been under a lot of stress as my husband died recently. Any advice?

Re: Weak hair

i m so sorry to hear this. Try to avoid stress now and ask you gp to check blood tests to see if you ferritin is above 70 and also that thyroid function is normal. Try also to avoid heating your hair too often and too much.

I hope this is helpful.
