Hypothyroidism causes hair fall 

It is fairly common for hypothyroidism to cause hair loss among women. However, it is essential that you get a dermatologist to check out your scalp and make absolutely certain that it is hypothyroidism and not anything else that is responsible for your hair loss. If you have confirmed that your hair loss is being caused by hypothyroidism, then it is essential that you check with the doctor who is treating you and first see if it is possible for you to get a change in medication.


Sometimes, this is a very useful way of instantly arresting hair loss without resorting to any other measures.

In any case, there are some simple remedies that can help you to stop losing hair. Evening primrose oil is known to have certain properties that can actually lend to fresh hair growth. You can take this in pill form, and it is also quite easily available in shops that sell natural and organic products. The other alternative is to apply the juice of freshly crushed onions. This is also supposed to generate fresh hair growth. You can also apply warm castor oil to your hair once a week. Alternatively, a massage with warm olive oil can also help tremendously. Try to wash your hair with acacia concinna, an Indian herb that is well known for its properties of improving the health of hair.
