Having started noticing severe hair loss in my late teens I'm very aware of the effects of thinning hair.
With so many products claiming to provide a hair loss remedy on the market today it's hard to make a choice.
My aim on this site is to provide you with hair loss reviews to allow you to make more informed choices on the best hair loss products for your needs. Good luck and if you have any testimonials for any of the products (good or bad) that can help us all in the future feel free to drop a line.
hair loss and either low weight or can cause you to gain weight
yes
Certainly. Hypothyroidism (Low Thyroid Levels) can cause dry brittle hair that can easily fall off and cause hair loss. Hyperthyroidism (High Thyroid Levels) usually cause oily hair and don’t usually cause hair loss.
yes i have been on synthroid for 25 years i lost all my eyebrows
Definitely! Hair loss is one of the classic symptoms of hypothyroidism, (underactive thyroid).
Oh honey….hair loss and LOTS of other things too!!! My endocrinologist suggested I purchase a specific book for information. I cant lay my hands on it right now, but I think the title is “Your Thyroid”, and it’s easily found at any of the bigger book stores. check it out!! Lots of really good information….I was diagnosed hypothyroid 10 years ago, and still pull that book out as a reference!! Good luck!!
