PCOS and hair loss : see below https://www.healthline.com/health/pcos-hair-loss-2#other-tips A good healthy diet with lots of greens may help as well. Avoid high dose zinc-limit 10-20 mg /day as zinc can have side effects. Check if you are anemic- low iron - that affects hair quality loss. f/u/ w/ dermatology
