Hair loss

[dominion999]

Dear Doctor, I am 34 year old Indian decent suffering from hypothyroidism for the past 2 years.  Six months back I had straightened my hairs with chemicals.  From that time there has been drastic hair fall (clumps of hair) on a daily basis.  Presently I am on Eltroxin (thyroid drug 100 mcg) and CCM (calcium supplement one daily).  I had zinc tablets to treat hair fall but in vain.  Please advise.

i am new to having Hypo but i am a stylist and i know sometimes if they leave the chemicals on too long or if they use one that is to strong for your type of hair it will start to fall out u may want to find out what was used on your hair let ur stylist know what is going on and see what they recommend and still talk to your dr. my sister had a perm done on her hair and it was why to strong and her hair was fallin out until they did some deep comd treatment and have to cut some of the burnt hair off. hope this help good luck.
