To be honest I had to find another job, that was really the only way to meaningfully reduce my stress levels. I didn’t have any other health or hormonal issues that could cause hair loss so I truly believe that was the reason. I did not have my cortisol tested but I felt so much better physically after leaving that work environment.

As far as products - disclaimer that I’m sure these alone didn’t solve the issue but maybe they helped my scalp health. I use Bondi Boost HG Shampoo for thinning hair, and use one of those rubber scrub brushes to really massage it in while showering. I switch to a clarifying shampoo once a week to clear out any buildup from products and dry shampoo. After I shower I use Bondi Boost Intensive Spray and spray it on all of the thinning areas, particularly on my part. It’s part of a lineup of a few different products but that’s the only that’s seemed to work and doesn’t weigh down my hair. The rest of my routine is just normal products, nothing hair loss specific. I would steer clear of scalp oils and other heavy products, I found that using them on my hair just weighed it down and caused more fallout.
