Thryroid medication: If you are taking too much thryoid medication you could have hair loss. Your blood levels should be checked.

Other way around: Overactive or underactive thyroid levels can lead to hair loss. Restoring your thyroid level to normal can return your hair to normal, but it can take many months.
