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.
The way to know if you have a thyroid disorder or not is to go to a doctor and get blood tests. That’s the only way to know.
I just went and got mine tested because my hair has been getting really thin and I’m only 20. Go to the dr. and ask them to do a thyroid test….they will take your blood and do the tests and will give you a call when the results are in.
Hair loss isn’t the major indicator of a thyroid disorder. Your hair, nails and skin might be drier if your thyroid is low. You will get cold more easily, frequently fatigued, maybe even feel like you are “walking through cement”. If you are male, it could just be male pattern baldness if you are losing a lot of hair. You might just need a little rogaine. But if you experience more symptoms indicative of a thyroid problem, the only way to know for sure is to get a blood test at the Dr.
