Congrats on breaking free of your stressful situation.

I had major panic a few years back when I thought I was losing my hair. It was noticeably thin when I put it in a ponytail. Turned out it was the shampoo I used at my parents’ house, it turned brittle and broke. I now have a fuzzy corona of 4" long hair from where the broken bits grew back, over mid-back length hair. :-)
