Hair Loss with Hashimoto's: Any Solutions?

just a heads up to those suggesting biotin supplements - my endocrinologist has advised me that taking those can alter thyroid blood results and can produce inaccurate diagnosis - so please just with your specialist before starting any supplement. I have been told by my hair dresser that rose hip oil used topically can help with some hair thinning. I haven't tried it yet since that is not easily accessible in my area

I know people suggest biotin and it does help some. It actually can mess with the thyroid levels on a blood panel though and can do more harm than good sometimes.

Definitely get your ferritin levels checked. I read that it should be at least 50 for hair growth. My hair was falling out in clumps, but after I started taking Standard Process Ferrofood, it's gotten much better. You can get a prescription from your doctor as well for ferrous sulfate.

I would like to suggest trying the use of biotin to start with, as well as some vitamin e. Biotin is good for your hair skin and nails, and vitamin e is also good for your skin. You also can never go wrong with a tad bit of coconut oil as a leave in to restore dry or damaged hair. 😅😊

Yes. I use to have tons of thick hair. Now it’s kind of thin and falls off a lot. It is depressing to see myself losing my hair.
