Thyroid Disorder And Hair Loss

Watching your hair slide down the shower drain or clumping up on your brush is a horrible feeling, especially for women! Our hair is connected to our identity, our youth, and our health. While it’s natural for some women to experience Hair Loss at certain times in their menstrual cycles or times of the year, Hair Los is also caused by specific health conditions including a thyroid imbalance.

Why does a Thyroid imbalance cause thinning hair?

Hair loss is a common symptom of thyroid imbalance, disrupting the normal hair growth cycle by causing more hair follicles to “rest” than grow, leading to increased hair shedding. Thyroid imbalances often develop gradually and may go unnoticed in early stages. Even with lab tests, doctors might overlook subtle thyroid issues due to the broad range of “normal” test results. This can be frustrating if you suspect something is wrong despite being told otherwise. If you experience persistent hair loss and suspect a thyroid disorder, consider discussing alternative thyroid tests or seeking a second opinion for a more accurate diagnosis.

Five Signs And Symptoms Your Hair Loss Is Connected To A Thyroid Disorder

Thinning eyebrows

Hypothyroidism (an underactive thyroid) often causes general Hair Loss as well as thinning of the outer third of the eyebrows. We don’t know exactly why the eyebrow is targeted in thyroid disorders, but this is a good indicator that your thyroid hormones may be low.

Hair that is brittle, dry, and breaks easily

Dry, brittle hair is also connected to low thyroid function. And research published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism finds that thyroid hormones increase growth and color in the hair. Low thyroid hormone can lead to the early release of the hair shaft and root, as well as premature gray or white hair.

Feeling exhausted all the time, even after 8 hours of sleep

The thyroid is the master of our metabolism, so it affects the way we use and store energy. With low thyroid hormone, metabolism slows down. This can often lead to persistent fatigue as well as weight gain.

Puffiness in the face or extremities

Many people with hypothyroidism have an excess of a compound called mucin. Mucin is part of our connective tissue and is present in blood vessels and cells all over the body. It absorbs water and may cause excess water retention in an individual with an underactive thyroid imbalance.

Yellowing of the palms of your hands

Yellowing of the skin on your hands can happen with a thyroid imbalance due to a build-up of carotene in your blood. Hypothyroidism can slow the conversion of carotene to vitamin A.
