    Hello Karen. Losing your hair may not be due to the HRT because this usually improves the condition of your hair and skin. Are you stressed? I know it's a silly question because losing your hair is likely to make you anxious but just wondered if there was anything else causing you to be stressed. Speak to your GP who may request blood tests and could prescribe something to help the condition of your hair. Good luck.
