Dry & brittle hair

[EspritLibre]

Hi. I have a question?  Has everyone's hair grown back beautifully?  I still am having issues with that.  It's getting better, but still "broken off & flyaway" -which, again, I always had extremeley beautiful wavy but not frizzy hair (not trying in any way to be conceited - honest - we all have at least one thing that stands out in a good way on us, & mine was my "Leo-the lion mane").  Now it just has lost the body, is very dry & the top above the bangs (fringe as our lovely friends in England call it) has broken off & in 6 mos has not grown.  I've had trims/cuts you name it and they never cut that part & it's still short.

Anybody else have the hair issues???

Thanks!!  I love this post & the great people on here!!

Thanks for the info i will look for Nioxin =).I have longer hair and am thinking out cutting it off.Would it make a difference in the breakage if i took some weight off?You have used Nioxin for a month, has it helped so far as in being able to comb threw your hair?Do you know how i can tell if my medication is working for me?The right dose is what i meant.

My eye doctor told me to take Thera Tears Nutrition.  That has helped alot!  Can be found in the saline eye solution section of the pharmacy.  They are gel capsules.

You should try NIOXIN, people are claiming it works.
I can not tell if it's good or not as I start using it for about 1 month. Look on Internet for a place near to you that sells it.

I am taking levothyroxin for Hashimoto's .Having a great deal of hair loss,brittle dry hair and tons of breakage.I do take b12 and a multivitamin.Can some one please tell me of a shampoo and conditioner that really works for them?It is a little bit of a vain issue, but i am at the point to where i don't want to wash my hair! seeing all of it fall out and break off and it takes a long time to even try to comb it out.Has any one else had these issues if so please share what you did that worked for you?

You can take EPO with synthroid. Go back in the archives here and search for hair loss. You will find posts that talk about how much to take. I forget. My pill bottle is at work, so I can't check.

Also, how are your iron levels? Vitamin deficiencies, in particular, iron and B12, can cause hair loss.

Can you take Evening primrose Oil with synthroid?  Is it the pill; how much do you take?
