Mine has a mind of it's own. Never know how its gonna be. I have to say though since increasing levo it did start to fall a bit but the actual condition has improved. I know what you mean about the staring hair. So depressing and lifeless
i tried ndt for several months but hated splitting the dosage and then had heart paps because of adrenal issues hence test showed my ft3 ft4 at top of range but tsh almost zero ....yet i will say....my hair came back to life almost silky.....i did use argan oil on it and then flat iron but doing the same now since i went back on t4 only and my hair is a strawy dry ....i have to use alot of products and still it looks dry and almost damaged......and it wont hold color......
