My hair is thin and brittle and breaks often. It comes out when I shampoo and when I blow dry. I have dyed it but quit because I read that dying hair can make it more brittle. I have a condition that causes my thyroid gland to slowly become under active as I grow older, and I read that thyroid problems can also cause thin, brittle hair. I use Head and Shoulder’s shampoo and conditioner because I have very sensitive skin and it keeps my head from itching, and I condition every day. I rarely use a flat iron or curling iron. Is there a better shampoo and conditioner, a product, or anything that I can use or do to my hair to repair and prevent further thinning and breakage?
I have been to a doctor about the thyroid condition but my symptoms are "not severe enough" to put me on hormone replacement therapy yet. Also, if you know of an inexpensive product that works or a "home remedy," if you will, that’d be great. I’m a college student with a job that pays monthly and I just started. Thus, I’m broke!
