Four years ago back in Brazil, I had very long, thick, and strong hair. It was beautiful, and surprisingly, it didn’t require any routine or special treatments. I would only wash it with cheap shampoo and cheap conditioner and that was it. My diet has gotten way better, and I currently take many different vitamins to complement it, but my hair has been destroyed since I moved to the USA. It’s very fragile and has extremely dry ends. For four years I’ve been dealing with a lot of hair loss and recently, it started breaking at the ends. I spend a lot of time and money on my hair routine now. I use K18, Amika bond repair mask, and do deep oiling treatment on my roots and ends using many different types of pure organic natural oils like avocado oil, olive oil, jojoba oil, grape seed oil, castor oil and argan oil. I apply a few drops of rosemary oil every wash and massage it well. I’m losing my hopes to have my hair back, and I feel sad whenever I comb my hair. Has anyone had the same experience and have tips to share with me? I don't understand how my diet back then was so much worse, my hair routine was way simpler, but my hair is so weak now. Thank you for your input :)
Not to speak for the previous commenter, but heavy metal toxicity can easily arise from having the wrong metals in old water pipes. Industrial waste, pesticide runoff, antibiotics, and all sorts of harmful things can find their way into our water supply as well.
I had numerous issues in the house I grew up in that mysteriously healed once I went off to college and started using water filters ever since. I’m quite certain I just had copper toxicity from our water pipes and contamination from nearby farms. Elevated copper levels can cause liver damage over time, so this is really important to root out if even slightly suspected. I was having incessant headaches, horrific anxiety, panic attacks, nightmares, racing heart, asthma, dark stools, constipation, lack of focus, fainting while exercising, noticeably yellow tint to my skin, muscle cramps at night, and overwhelming fatigue. Basically, my health was trash, and I’m 99.9999% certain my water was just contaminated. I feel inspired to reach this conclusion by Erin Brockovich herself :D

Oh no, absolutely doesn’t have to be an RO filter. But Brita and the like generally just filter out chlorine. There are better options out there.
My favorite ones have used vitamin c, tourmaline, zeolite, etc. to soften water and filter out heavy metals—they run about $30 on Amazon. PureAction has an amazing one that also has insanely good water pressure, no matter which shower I’ve installed it in!
