Sarah Hyland isn’t afraid to get candid about her health hardships.
As you surely know, the Modern Family actress underwent a kidney transplant in 2012 after a lifelong battle with kidney dysplasia. Due to this procedure, the industry vet is required to take certain medication to maintain her health. Sadly, what’s been prescribed to her has caused some unfortunate side effects, namely hair loss.

Over the weekend, Wells Adams‘ lady took to Instagram in search of a solution for her thinning hair. The 27-year-old inquired:
“Help, help, help. What hair-care products are out there for thinning hair? This 27-year-old would like to know. I know it seems like I don’t, but I do. Some of my medications have been making my hair fall out.”
Sarah went on to reveal that she’s unable to take certain over the counter hair loss supplements, such as Viviscal and Nutrafol, as they interact with her medication. In addition to noting that her situation is “so annoying,” Sarah relayed:
“I’ve talked to my pharmacist and I’m not allowed to take them because they interact with those medications… So for those on prednisone and Prograf and Myfortic and any immune-suppressing medications, have you found anything other than just biotin that works?”
Thankfully, Sarah’s devoted followers responded quickly to her questions. While thanking fans for their submissions, Hyland name checked a few natural remedies and added:
“OK, so what I’ve read from you guys ├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥ castor oil, leave it in and wash it out. There’s also, like, some shampoos. There’s this caviar thing, this Hask thing.”
Although Sarah’s been upfront about her health struggles in the past, it’s wonderful to see that she’s still dedicated to being transparent about her situation. Not to mention, with the stigma surrounding female hair loss, we applaud Sarah for speaking out!!
Thanks for sharing your truth, girl!
