How common is wearing a wig? i have hypothyroid and losing hair i need to wear one?
Ok, so I read your question and read the replies that people gave, so I'll give my 2 cents worth. First of all, you would truly be surprised how common folks wear wigs. (Hello, anyone seen Beyonce, Ciara, Jessica Simpson, Paris Hilton, etc. lately???) I personally wear half-wigs and pony tails practically everyday. I don't have any kind of medical condition or anything like that. I really just like to be able to change my look up on a daily or weekly basis. I think that you should go to a wig or beauty supply store and just look around. Try on a couple and see what you think. At first, I would only wear wigs that were similar in appearance to my natural hair length, but I am so comfortable with them now, that I switch up color, length, texture, whatever, on a regular basis. If you are feeling in the mood for highlights one day, you can switch it up however you like it. Don't feel sad about losing your hair to an illness. Hey, it happens. I don't see a real reason why you should have to feel self-conscious about your hair loss because wearing a wig is a way to make you feel better about yourself, they make you look fantastic, and you can change them up like you change your shoes. Another thing I want to mention is that wigs are not heavy, hot, or itchy. The folks who mentioned that in their replies have obviously never worn a wig or at least not a good one. LOL My personal favorite is the half wig aka a "fall". It attaches by combs in the front and the back. I'm not sure what your ethnicity is, but my friend Hayley is white and she has fine/thin hair. She is absolutely in love with her half wig and provides extra "support" by using either bobby pins or a headband. I personally have NEVER had a wig to fall off, so I also wouldn't be too worried about that either I sincerely hope that this helps. Good luck!

Bleaching hair thyroid?
Thyroid and Seasonal Hair loss One of the major contributing factors to hair loss is hormonal imbalance, which is often attributed to hypothyroidism. The increased production of androgenic hormones, which is one side effect of hypothyroidism, can often lead to baldness in women. Androgens, which consist of the two related hormones testosterone and DHT, cause hair follicles to die and fall out. Medicine used to treat hypothyroidism can also cause hair loss. The intention of thyroid medicine is to correct a hormonal imbalance; however, because it is yet another factor that alters hormone levels, it can be another cause of hair loss.

Hair loss due to thyroid irreversible? doc says yes...true?
I have had thyroid problems for a long time I take medicine for it..I have the kind that makes you gain weight...I take synthroid for it or levothroid...well anyways, I have never lost hair while I had thyroid in the past or that I noticed..but a few months ago I was loosing hair like crazy it was all over my pillow on my clothes the floor everywhere...it has calmed down a bit now but it's still falling...I can see places were this is no hair not like bald patches but if I put my hair back I can see my head skin ha ha...I tried to not think about it much so I don't get depressed but I am depressed, worried, sad. I survived cancer, grew beautiful hair only to have it taken by thyroid. My doctor said it would grow back once we get my thyroid back in order but I don't know if he was just trying to calm me down or if he was serious. I went in crying one day cause I was feeling really bad crying, hair loss, headaches, dizzyness, weight loss. Is it possible for this thyroid nightmare to end?
