Hi Frankie! I'm sorry to hear that you are having some hair concerns. I started losing my hair back in October, 2025, due to Systemic Lupus. I started taking Biotin, four 5,000 mcg tablets every morning, one scoop of Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides, unflavored (can be purchased through Amazon), and Kitsch hair products for hair growth (also through Amazon). I have seen an improvement in thickness, texture, and length. The shedding and thinness have improved too. I hope this helps you. Lupus is rough but, together, we can get you through this time. Hugs to you. Know that you are not alone. Your Lupus family's got you.

I've been in a flare for three years. My brush is always full of hair. I clean it daily. I typically brush my hair before washing it to help prevent breakage and I have worked more protein into my diet along with foods that help hair regrowth.

I've read that GLP1s can cause people to lose their hair, because people are losing weight too fast, and this puts stress on the body. Many treatments for hair loss caused by GLP1s include DHT blockers along with other nutrients. DHT blockers help stop shrinking hair follicles. But, with autoimmune disorders, DHT actually helps suppress the immune system. I have PCOS, and I read DHT blockers might help stabilize my hormonal imbalance, but the flip side is my immune system might be triggered. Discussing this with a dermatologist & rheumatologist might be a good idea. My husband just told me if I lose too much, just shave it off. More and more women with alopecia are opting to do this. It's definitely a cultural thing to expect women to have full heads of hair.

It does help the nails a lot and I think it does help hair to a certain extent
