SHORT DIVE: WHY YOUR HAIR IS FALLING OUT (PART 2)

Chapters 4–8: The blood tests, the treatment guide, what supplements actually do, the cycle-aware approach, and the complete practical plan.

This is Part 2 of Why Your Hair Is Falling Out, And What Actually Helps. If you haven’t read Part 1 yet, start there, it covers the hair cycle biology, why loss is always delayed, the most common causes in women under 35, and the evidence hierarchy for treatment. This part is where it becomes something you can act on.
