| Clarifying shampoo once a week, check water hardness and avoid air drying. |

| You can get in shower water filter. Trader Joe’s has argan oil. You may need a gentler shampoo. |

| Agree, have your water tested or may need a filter. My sister moved and had same issue with hair and found it was her water. That said, could be age too. You can easily get a prescription for oral minoxidil (rogaine) online that can help. Take collagen supplements and experiement with hair care products. My derm said nutrafol/vegamor was a waste, but sounds like some people have had lots of success on. |

| You need to start using Olaplex (use the whole line), k18 treatments and get a dyson Airwrap or Airstrait. |

| I have thin, fine hair and Ghost by Verb (shampoo and conditioner) is pretty good. Oral Minoxidil has also been somewhat helpful. |

Clip on extensions work fine unless your hair is unusually thin. |

Me too, OP.
I’ve lived in the same house, with the same water for 20 years, but since starting menopause 6 years ago, my hair has grown thinner, drier, and straw-like. Doesn’t matter what shampoo, conditioner, or product I use, blow dry it, curl it, straighten it, whatever. Or hair length. Ten minutes after styling it’s back to looking ratty. Sorry I don’t have any advice for you, just commiserating. |

| Well, HRT would help but don’t kid yourself it’s a miracle cure. Topical minoxidil but really oral minoxidil and/or finasteride. |
