I've noticed it has been looking dry from the top, but the strings are healty, I haven't watered in like 3 weeks, I been paying attention and just water when the windows are closed. What can I do, why does it happen?
You could try a chop and prop, the strings look like they’d root in water and the top looks already beyond repair. You can’t just repot this in better substrate and water it correctly and expect a rebound because of all the death by the roots, but it’s not so far gone that I’d throw it out either.

I recently learned through experience and research that you shouldn’t wait until the windows close to water. The plant is way too dry at that point and you’re unnecessary stressing it.
Instead make sure you are using a gritty succulent soil mix with about 50% sand. Water when the soil is dry, in the winter don’t give it too much water cause it won’t dry out as fast.
