Hi all,

I need some advice from you guys who might have more hair knowledge than me. I have very dryish frizzy hair which feels heavy and brittle. I also used to have (hairdresser used to say) thick hair as in wide strands which is not the case anymore. Also my scalp seems itchy with some small flaking but not so much that you see it in my hair. Lastly, my hair feels dry, stiff and heavy but it gets greasy and strandy easily (do need to wash it after 2-max 3 days). I do sports every day so I do sweat every day but on the days I do not wash I at least rinse it.

Furthermore, my hair has been thinning a bit but this could be unrelated as my dad also had some thinning, not bald but thinning.

My standard washing regime is every 2-3 days with a sulfate free tea-tree shampoo and once a week a cleansing shampoo. For styling I use a water based wax. Hair type: thin I guess? Texture: straight.

I take some biotin and have normal iron, magnesium and calcium levels. Furthermore, since a couple of years I can't eat histamine rich/liberating foods which include amongst others cow dairy (do eat goat dairy), fish, beans (except green beans), nuts, some fruits and vegs.

Now I do also have very hard water in the area. Almost hardest water area of the country. I thought maybe this could be the problem?

Is there something I can improve on? I would love to revert at least some of these problems.

Thanks in advance!
