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!!

We are very familiar with several possible causes for hair problems.  If you will please post your thyroid related test results and their reference ranges shown on the alb report, members will be glad to assess the adequacy of your testing and treatment.  Also, if tested for Vitamin D, B12 and ferritin, please post those, and ranges, as well.

I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism last year.  The dry, brittle hair issue continues.  I've tried expensive and inexpensive moisturizing shampoos and conditioners.  Honestly, I've had the best results (although still not great) with Pantene's moisturizing shampoo and conditioner.  

I had short hair for years and once between cuttings when my hair was a little longer, I noticed that the dry look and brittleness were much more controllable.  This meant I had to let my bangs grow out (which I've had for about 30 years).  I now have a bob and while my hair doesn't look as healthy as it used to, it's at least presentable, which I will have to settle for.  Good luck to everyone and let me know any suggestions you might have.

I use a tbl spoon of Apple cider vinegar in a 32oz jar of water and I pour it over my hair after my last rinse.  kind a rub lightly into the scalp and then blot dry, it helps with the itchy scalp, (unless you have scratched your scalp, then it will sting, don't do it then) it really makes your hair shine, plus helps get rid of sludge from all the stuff we put on our hair. As for the wig, I've always read that wearing a wig tends to smother your scalp and cause more hair loss. My hair has always been kind of thin, after taking RAI it seemed to get even thinner, but it seems to be getting better since I've been on Armour, I changed from Levoxyl and feel so much better, Good luck everyone, it seems like its luck that gets us well, since the doctors don't really have any answeres to alot of our questions, I asked my doctor if other people were having problems like I was, and she said I don't think so, so glad I found all of you and this sight, I knew it wasn't in my head, cause I know my body, and I know when something is not right, glad to know there are others feeling as I do. Thanks guys gals, debbie

please read this. I've been struggling with hypothyroidism and it won't matter how high you're t3 or t4 dosages are, if you're body can't convert them you will still experience the hair problems and such. Nothing will improve. this is not the only article i have read that from. I am going to try this!
