Wow, I was just thinking the same thing this week - I noticed my hair is shedding more than usual the past couple of weeks- I'll have to take note if this is a"Spring thing".

One home remedy I've been using to help with hair volume/thickening is to take one tablespoon of organic coconut oil and one tablespoon of Manuka honey (or organic honey, Manuka is expensive), heat them in a small saucepan together. While still warm (warm, not hot!), pour over your hair, mostly on the ends if your hair is thin, put into a bun and cover with a plastic shower cap for about 30 minutes. Then wash well as usual, you'll need 2 shampoos.
If your hair is very long you may need to double the amount.

all the best
