Dealing with hair loss and thinning can be a really upsetting experience for women. If you’re noticing more hair in your brush or the shower drain, you’re definitely not alone. For me, this started in my twenties, and there have been times when it felt like my hair was shedding excessively. Washing and drying my hair during those periods was incredibly distressing, sometimes even leading to tears in the shower.
The first time I went through severe hair loss was during a difficult breakup when I was 25. Then, after having my children, dealing with postpartum depression and two kids under two, it happened again. Most recently, I experienced significant hair loss after recovering from Covid. Over the years, I’ve sought advice from dermatologists, hair salon experts, and my doctor. I underwent various tests, mainly checking my thyroid. Ultimately, stress was identified as the primary culprit.
Through all of this, and after trying countless remedies, I’ve discovered hair care tools and lifestyle adjustments that have truly made a difference. In this article, I want to share the best hair care tools for thinning hair that I’ve found helpful, along with simple lifestyle changes that can support hair health, hoping this information can be beneficial for other women facing similar challenges.
