Hairfall and thinning
I hv thyroid from the last 14 years. over the years the quality of my hair has deteriorated. I hv been losing a lot of hair and the hair is also becoming much thinner than before. I also hv dandruff. Could this be due to thyroid? What can I do to improve the hair quality and stop the hairfall

There are many reasons for hair fall. So first and foremost we have to find the cause with the help of detailed history and examination. Some of the common causes are nutritional deficiency, hormonal causes like androgenic alopecia or patterned baldness, hypothyroidism, telogen effluvium etc. Unless we find and treat the cause there is no point in giving non specific treatment. Oils or shampoos do not have any effect on hair growth as they are not absorbed in the skin. Please call me and visit my clinic or send photographs using online consult option for proper diagnosis and detailed prescription, even if you have hypothyroidism, but your tsh levels are normal, then it is unlikely to be a cause for hairfall. Most likely you have female pattern hairloss.
