Return of color to gray hair?

[Guest guest]

has anyone seen their natural hair color return and the texture of their hair change after startng thyroid medication? i began graying at the age of 22 and now i'm 34 and over 50% gray and also the hair on top is super dry and coarsea and thick. the hair underneath (the layers underneath) are super soft and shiny. well, i started armour this saturday!! it's only 1/4 grain but i'm being slow and cautious. so far, i don't feel anything but it's only been 2 days and it's only 1/4 grain. i think i'll increase next saturday. i'm excited having started.

My texture/feel went back to normal when my dose was right.. then go crappy again when I had to short dose and ran out.. now it's slowly coming back again...

Hair color... no luck for me there.. I used to be a blonde. Now I'm mouse brown, no gray, 49 years old.

Part of the hair color thing MIGHT be that I used to be outside all the time.. even my jobs were mostly outside.... now I have to make an effort to get my 15 minutes of sun a day for vitamin D production. I do that to protect my bones.... you need the D with the calcium to keep bones healthy.. and I get my calcitonin from the natural thyroid....

No dx here but I have grayed quite abit...quite abit these last few

years. While I did find some gray hair in my teens, it began to

really sprout up about 27 and then horrendously so these last few

years.

This is what I found: my hair darkened first, became course and then

greyed. The grey (really silver) is thicker and wire " e'. The rest

is " fine " hair.

I used to have beautiful, soft, naturally highlighted medium/light

brown hair. That changed.

I suspect this is the way it goes for those aging...but yeah, at our

age...doesn't seem right.

Yes me!!..........well it wwasn't really grey just wishy washy mouse

brown, with a few grey hairs. My hairdresser even commented on how

good it is looking, the last 2 times I haven't even put a colour in it

This is after being on Armour 12 months, the 12 previous years being

on thyroxine , she saw I had lost a lot of weight and she put it down

to that lol...........Meleese x

Hmmm...I wonder if there is a connection? I usually color (Loreal) every 6-8

weeks, but

have noticed, since starting synthroid 6 weeks ago), that my color is coming

back. Usually

by now, my natural part and the " sideburn " area really gray. It's just a touch

right now and

my hair is so shiny and healthy looking.

Would be interesting to understand gray hair.

I can't speak on the gray part.. but getting the thyroid levels where

they need to be do a LOT for both the texture of the hair and it's

growth...
