Are you on any sort of HRT?

Maybe have a very good cut and reshape with a head massage.  As short as you can bear it.  Keeping it short will help take the emphasis off your face so that you feel less conscious.  Hair thinning can be a problem.

The hairdresser Trevor Sorbie supports people who have lost their hair, have a look-see at this web site.  He gives advice regarding wigs.

I had this for a while and changed what I washed my hair with.  I would recommend a shampoo bar from the Cornish Soap Box.  The first week it makes the hair worse because it's cleansing the chemicals from ordinary products.  After that the condition improves.

It's worth a try.

   also chlorine can strip the hair of 'goodness'.
