It is very common to lose your hair when your thyroid is off. You need to be on synthroid. If you just started taking it, you will always lose some hair, because you are growing new hair all the time. You need to have your doctor request a THS for labs and have him check it every 3 months when you first start it. You may need to have your dose lowered or strengthened. I am 52 and have been taking synthroid since I was 45. My doctor told me that I have the kind that is hereditary, so I will be on it for life. Some people have the other kind and sometimes can go off of it.

If you are not taking a good vitamin and calcium, you should.
Vitamins help make hair stronger and healthier. I'll be 38 this year and 3 kids later my hair is healthier than it's ever been. I buy my supplements at www.marketamerica.com/2bewell
My hairdresser also recommends these vitamins to her clients!
Take care,

Yes, I have had experience with thinning hair. Mine is due to thyroid dysfuntion. The meds are only a partial help. I found a health & wellness company that has some awesome products that really help. If you're interested, I'll be happy to share more. CD

My hair thined out alot after my son 4 yrs ago as well my thyroid is normal chackled it up to stress however did find cutting my hair shroter than normal really helped my hair grew back to a thicker set of hair happened again with my daughter cut it shorter and loved it now it is healthy again,or you can see a dermotologist where they can do a hair sample and provide medication just let them know about yur throid issue.

First of all, Stress is the #1 reason for thinning hair. Medication and other health problems are other reasons. If you are on any medications, ask your dr. or pharmacist if that could be a reason. Hair shampoos and etc. in a Brand called Nioxin is really good for thinning hair. It can also get very expensive. Talk to your dr.

There is a professional line called Nioxin. It works. If you use it consistently for 3 months you will begin to see new hair coming in. I am a cosmetologist and it has worked for many clients.

Are you on synthroid? if not get on that and have it checked regularly to make sure the dose is right.
I have it also but i thnk God have not lost hair...

I have had great luck with Nioxin. You can get it at any salon or Beauty Brands!

Shampoos that are volumnizers works great.

Hello A.,
I know you said your have thyroid problems, but alot of doctors overlook harmonal imbalances too, I had this same problem, and being a hairstylist there was no way in hell i could live with it. It wound up being that my testosterone was way too high.
That is the same harmone that men have, that is why they suffer male pattern baldness.
I take progesterone to counteract the testosterone.
The best way to test for it is a saliva test by a compounding pharmacist.
Medicine shoppe in St. Peters is the only one I know of that offers that.
good luck

I know how you feel about thinning hair. I started losing my hair after my second child was born and I went to a Derm and he told me it was anesthesia and pregnancy. Was told to use extra strengths mens rogain. I couldnt bring myself to do it. Then more hair started falling aout after my 3rd child. After many Derm visits noone knows why I lost my hair. So if you try any of these products and they work for you please let me know. I have been taking a hair and skin vitamin and I dont see any difference. Thank you so much and hope you find something that works.

Go to a nutrition store and buy Kelp. It is great for the thyriod and helped my hair grow back. My family has bad thyroids and we use nutritional supplements and kelp. Our hair grew back and we didn't have side affects from thyroid drugs. And it worked for us.

A dermatologist can help. I am a nurse and work for a dermatologist. We see people for thinning hair and hairloss all the time.

You can try nioxen shampoo and conditioner. I used the website and found a store at our local mall that carried it. It is expensive but the large bottle lasts. It is a pleasant shampoo in my opinion. It cleanses your scalp well and is gentle to your hair. I have used it for a few years and wouldn't change. I don't use the hair spray they have because I don't care for the smell. When I use hair spray (not often) I use Chi hairspray. Hope that helps.

A., I am a consultant for a health and wellness company called Arbonne. Our products are made with herbal and botannical ingredients combined with science and are truly pure, safe and beneficial for your skin and body. You will see a visible difference! We carry a product called the Intelligence Thermal Fusion Hair and Scalp Revitalizer. The product contains a proprietary thermal fusion technology that combines heat and water with other vitamins and ingredients to protect hair from the environment and to promote hair growth. I have a client who says this is the only product that has made a difference in the texture and thickness of her hair. Please contact me if you are interested in learning more.

I'm sorry to hear about you troubles. I didn't have that problem, but my sister did. She went to the doctor and found out that it was a vitamin problem. Try going to a good naturalist who can recommend which suppliments who should use. Sometimes you might just be taking too much of one thing and not enough of another. Good luck.
