Hair growth with dead hair follicles?

Hi James,

A woman I know (under 30 yrs of age) has been experiencing hair loss for a couple of years now at the center of the head, down. It started mostly when she started working a stressful job, which -- along with her other symptoms -- leads me to believe there's an adrenal issue that is impacting the thyroid, leading to hair loss.

However, she recently went to a lab that told her that her hair follicles are dead. It's possible there is a conflict of interest there -- they do sell hair products, including "natural" hair -- but, assuming they are right, is there ANY way to re-grow hair in those areas?

She nonetheless wants to try fixing her thyroid and adrenals to prevent any possible further loss, and to alleviate her other symptoms.

Thank you,
Alex. Tweet
