Your hair fall, breakage, and early greying are most likely due to a combination of thyroid imbalance + nutritional deficiencies + hair shaft damage. Thyroid disorders commonly cause diffuse hair fall and dryness, while greying and breakage suggest deficiencies (B12, iron, protein). Next Steps: • Ensure your thyroid levels (TSH, T3, T4) are well controlled • Get tests: Vitamin B12, ferritin (iron), Vitamin D • Start a multivitamin with biotin, iron, zinc (if deficient) • Use a mild sulfate-free shampoo + conditioner regularly • Apply hair serum/leave-in conditioner for breakage control • Oiling 1–2 times/week (coconut/argan) for shaft nourishment Helpful Tips / Words of Caution: • Hair fall due to thyroid improves only after hormone levels are controlled • Include in diet: protein (eggs, paneer, pulses), nuts, seeds, green vegetables • Avoid excessive heat styling, tight hairstyles, and chemical treatments • Greying once started is mostly irreversible, focus on slowing progression • Be patient—hair recovery takes 3–6 months after correction of cause You can consult with me via Practo for a detailed evaluation and treatment
