Hair loss and Hashimoto's disease! Thyroid disorders can lead to what is called hypothyroidism, which is an underactive thyroid gland. The Thyroid plays a very important role in the development and maintenance of the hair follicle.  Hypothyroidism can possibly lead to hair loss, not just on the scalp, but also on other parts of the body.  Hashimoto's disease is also a disorder of the thyroid gland. What Hashimoto's disease is, is when the immune system attacks the thyroid gland in the neck. There is a little butterfly shaped gland in the front of the neck, and that is the Thyroid Gland.  *Difference between Hashimoto's and hypothyroidism is that Hashimoto's is caused by a malfunction of the immune system, whereas hypothyroidism is not influenced by the immune system, and caused by not enough thyroid hormones.  So how does this influence hair loss?  A lot of people with thyroid disfunction shed hair.

This is a huge question for many people!!               When you are watching hair go down the drain in clumps, or fall onto your sweater or shirt, gasping at your hairbrush in fear you've lost more than what will grow back, that is no laughing matter, and the question becomes...…. What is normal hair loss? We've all seen the individual in the store that has lost most all of their hair, and our next fear is, "Am I going to be that person"! There are various sources that declare many numbers: American Academy of Dermatologists- 50 to 100 strands of hair per day. US Trichology Institute- 25-100 strands of hair per day. The HairPin- 100- 125 per day Healthline- 50 to 100 per day Web MD- 50 to 100 per day So the point here being, there's really no hard, fast number, there's a general idea, but who counts these hairs?  It's easy to assume there must be something causing this hair loss, but the truth is, every person of every age. will lose hair.
