Stress can affect ur: hair as can poor diet, and any thyroid issues will impact this too. So, it's multifactorial and you may want to ask your doctor to check your thyroid hormone, active thyroid (T3) and T4 levels, as you could be euthyroid (normal TSH) but having signs of hypothyroidism. Also stress and smoking can negatively impact this too.Having a diet rich in minerals support hair growth, as well as organ health.
