DMSO - Dimethylsulphoxide

Because it can be really complex, IMO it's best to do this type of thing with a trained healer. Have you seen a naturopath about your hair?
I'm sure the body is sending a message, but I don't understand it. Indeed, it's very complex to the point where it's frustrating. Although I gradually noticed it 2 years ago, I've dismissed it as normal, thinking it might resolve by itself eventually.

Naturopath: I only went once in fall 2019. Someone referred her to me as being really good. I found out I wasn't eating enough protein, and my electrolytes were imbalanced. Thanks to her, I was able to have a successful pregnancy and have my son; otherwise, I was always too tired.

The reason I haven't gone back yet is because of the high fees and their inability to prescribe tests: it's reserved for doctors, and I just found out today that the "College des Médecins" is doing a witch hunt against alternative medicine practitioners. So anything she wants to figure out, I would have to go ask my doctor to prescribe it... Last time, he did not cooperate when she asked about a comprehensive hormone check.

My plan is to ask him to refer me to a dermatologist and an endocrinologist (let's see how many months I'll have to wait before seeing one), and from there, I'll schedule an appointment with her and bring all the previous tests/results. That will most likely happen only next year. And I must find time to read the book about Perimenopause that was referred to by other members.
 
The main variable I suspect would be hormones (perimenopause), lack of proteins or minerals, Covid damages (in pair with my heart issues), or an unlucky genetic issue (but my dad is 70+ and has all his hair, and very thick).
Another variable you may consider is scalp tension. It is believed that inflammation resulting from sustained tension leads to epigenetic changes that prevent hair follicle stem cells from activating.

You can perform a simple pinch test to check your scalp mobility. If your scalp doesn't move freely, this restricted mobility may be related to your hair loss.

To perform the test, place your thumb and forefinger slightly apart on your scalp. Then, gently pinch and lift your scalp tissue. Notice how much (or how little) your scalp moves. If your scalp barely moves when pinched, significant tension is likely restricting blood flow to your follicles.

My hair is thin, and I have lost a lot of it in the last few years. A few months ago, when I first did the pinch test, I had significant scalp tension, so I started doing scalp massages from time to time. I must say, they rather help my hair. Currently, I have moderate tension, and my new hairs look healthier and are growing in greater numbers. Of course, it’s not a miracle treatment, but I think it definitely improves hair health.
