    Age, genetics, stress, winter weather it all seems to pay a huge role in hair. And it seems something the medical profession can offer little support with. I have chatted with my doctor who referred me to someone at the local hospital who said take some vitamins (zinc, B6, selenium and a multi) and suggested my GP checked my thyroid more often (ignored by GP)

    I'm really looking forward to visiting the place I've found.   I've set a budget, extensions wont be an option but I want to research what else might be possible. (I will report back).
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!

    Interesting comment daisy about the sea kelp. I have shocking nails these days, they are so dry and chip easily. Anybody else got suggestions for nails?

    I’ve seen a lot of toppers recently on SM? Would they be less damaging? No doubt you will find out all this and more at your consultation.
    I’m another with thinner hair, I am very conscious of my parting and thinking of a fringe again to disguise this.

    I’ve been taking a vegan collagen supplement for a while now in the hopes it would help my hip. My hip isn’t much better but my nails are definitely stronger.
