My hair feels brittle and course and frizzy, is my hair going to stop growing?

Not likely: However, for a middle-aged woman, I would recommend you have your thyroid level checked to make sure that's not a factor. Also, nutrition is very important (real fruits/vegetables not supplements or vitamins) in maintaining healthy hair, skin, and nails.
