5. Hair Damage
Losing hair is not the only way that hypothyroidism is known to affect the hair. On the contrary, instead of hair loss, hypothyroidism can also affect your hair in other, very drastic ways – including a simple thinning of the hair to severe hair damage. As opposed to the loss of your hair, your hair is instead just becoming thinner and thinner over time, or just isn’t as strong as it once was.
If you want to restore the damage to your hair, the first thing you should do is visit your doctor and have all hormone imbalances checked out immediately. Once you’ve ruled that out, you can start taking care of your hair – take a look at changing your shampoo specifically to something that’s been designed to take care of oily and damaged hair. You can also add some more to your hair cleaning routine with conditioner designed to repair.
