A female friend of mine had a couple of traumatic experiences a few years ago. She experienced a small patch of hair loss after the first incident. It eventually grew back. Months later after another near nervous breakdown, the spot came back on the other side of her head. Since then her hair has become very brittle and breaks easy. Not sure what she's tried. Just want to check options for myself to help her overcome this.

I've experienced this and have found a couple of things that helped:
-see a professional & really deal with the issues causing the stress.
-black currant oil (omega-3 &GLA) mentioned in a Dr. Andrew Weil book.
-eat salmon and flaxseed
-get some exercise where you sweat, increasing circulation
-get scalp massages w/oil
-use "ethnic" hair care products, even if you aren't
-cut your hair short for awhile.

Good luck!

Hair loss affects both men and women. Here are some natural remedies that can help boost hair growth: https://tinyurl.im/aH7QX While genetics plays a role, there are other factors, including: hormonal imbalances, an underactive thyroid gland, nutrient deficiencies and insufficient scalp circulation.

What you have is called stress spots , the spots usually change areas in your scalp , but not to worry the hair does come back , I believe their is treatment for this but would have to go to a professional , Something else you can try would be a professional shampoo and treatment called NIXON this is a treatment for hair loss in the beginning and advance stages , you can find this product at a professional salon (or ) a a jcpenney salon in your area , it is a very effective treatment , but it does take time for the effects to work , your friend needs to stick with the program , she would probably see that she does not lose any hair during the first week or so, but have her continue this treatment .......being in this business for so long I have never seen anything this effective .....

Making dietary changes is your first line of defense in treating hypothyroidism. Learn here https://tr.im/HsAb2

Many people with hypothyroidism experience crippling fatigue and brain fog, which prompts reaching for non-nutritional forms of energy like sugar and caffeine. I’ve dubbed these rascals the terrible twosome, as they can burn out your thyroid (and destabilize blood sugar).

1. Just say no to the dietary bungee cord. Greatly reduce or eliminate caffeine and sugar, including refined carbohydrates like flour, which the body treats like sugar. Make grain-based carbohydrates lesser of a focus, eating non-starchy vegetables to your heart’s content.

2. Up the protein. Protein transports thyroid hormone to all your tissues and enjoying it at each meal can help normalize thyroid function. Proteins include nuts and nut butters; quinoa; hormone- and antibiotic-free animal products (organic, grass-fed meats, eggs, and sustainably-farmed fish); and legumes.
