Why do we lose hair in time? does age affect hair growth and the follicles? is there a remedy to prevent it? my hair is a disaster. it's frizzy too!

Details matter: Genetic and hormone factors. Continue metformin. Add spironolactone at 100mg a day. Consider minoxidil topical to scalp. Consider finasteride at 1mg a day. For best result see a dermatologist.
