What is happening: To your hair is usually the result of either something that happened to your body many months ago, like a febrile illness, metabolic problem, etc. Otherwise the only thing that causes rapid change in the hair is chemical trauma such as hair dyes, straighteners, curling agents, etc. By what way, the zinc won't hurt you - probably won't help either. The colostrum powder is worthless.
