I am a African American woman who has a condition called Hypothyroidism, and it's causing my hair to become dry, brittle, and it's starting to fall out. I have thought about wearing a wig, a wig piece, and maybe even a weave, but I don't want to cause further damage. Is a full wig the only way to go?
I used to have beautiful, long, healthy black hair, and now I have just the opposite. What can I do?

Use the Nioxin haircare range you can buy it online just google nioxin. It is a range that specializes with your kinda problem. It concentrates on the scalp encouraging hair growth, it will take around 6 weeks for you to notice a difference. They do a starter pack which contains everything you need for £34. In the meantime if you feel you would be more comfortable wearing a wig, there are some great ones out there. Good luck babe!

having a medical problem, follow the doctor's treatment, hypothiroidism isn't something grave, but tell hi that you have a hair felling problem because of the medication so that he can try to change it, and then visit a dermatologist, you cannot use cosmetic products when you are having a medical problem because it's nule, the cosmetic products act as a chemical help to the outside the organism, like a good conditioner it is conditioning the keratine from the hair, it isn't make it stop falling when the problem is inside the body

Have they prescribed you with the usual thyroid replacement drugs?TSH- Eat loads of veg and drink loads of water take vitamin supplements with a combination of all these your hair should feel better- a good shampoo and conditioner helps too and treat it to a hot oil or deep intensive mask every now and then! Good Luck!
