Usually yes: Usually it is reversible but you have to correct the underlying cause such as replacing iron adequately and supplement thyroid hormone.. Good luck

Hair Loss: Hair loss caused by thyroid disease and or anemia causes a telogen effluvium which is reversible if the anemia and thyroid disease is controlled.
