Re: Synthroid effects hair perm??????

[Guest guest]

I've never had a problem with perms or colorings while using Synthroid;

however, my stylist did once tell me that she would prefer to NOT do anything

around the time that I am hypothyroid. Remember also, that the hair on your

head for 6 months or more after being hypo will not be the same, it may be

weaker.

speculation --

The new, " baby " hair may have taken up the perm solution

sooner/better/easier than the " old " hair (that hadn't fallen out and

been replaced), so when the perm seemed to be " done " (looking at a

sample curl which happened to be of a " new " hair) and the stuff

removed, the " old " hair hadn't had enough time to " work " .

more spec, based on the above -- if the sample had been an " old " hair

and the stuff left on, what would the " new " hair have looked like!

who has very short hair anyway. (I've been asked, a few years before

thyca, if I'd had chemo and that's why my hair was so short! but that

was a couple of days after a cut.)

Synthroid effects hair perm??????

> I just made a bad hair choice. I got a perm because my hair is so

fine and flat. Well, I lost alot of hair after my RAI's and I have a

lot of new fine,baby growth about 5 inches long, that took the curl

great! The rest of my hair did not!!! The beautitian asked if I was

on any medications and said it was probably because of the thyroid

medication. Anyone else know about this or have this experience?

Hi, ,

I have been a hairstylist for 21 years and have had thyca for 10 years. All

medication you take effects your hair as does what you eat and how you live

life. The new hair probably took because it was shorter hair. I don't know

how long your hair is or if it is chemically treated etc. , but that all

plays a part in the outcome. You can e-mail me privately if would like.
