cause of hair loss and texture
In some cases, your thyroid problem may even be first suggested by your hairdresser, after noticing changes in your hair. While thyroid disease frequently causes general hair loss from the hair on the head, a unique and characteristic symptom of hypothyroidism is the loss of the hair on the outer edge of your eyebrows. If you have lost eyebrow hair, this can be a sign of undiagnosed or poorly treated hypothyroidism.
Any kind of physical trauma surgery, a car accident, or a severe illness, even the flu can cause temporary hair loss. This can trigger a type of hair loss called telogen effluvium. Hair has a programmed life cycle: a growth phase, rest phase and shedding phase.
Emotional stress is less likely to cause hair loss than physical stress, but it can happen, for instance, in the case of divorce, after the death of a loved one, or while caring for an aging parent. More often, though, emotional stress won't actually precipitate the hair loss.
